Question
I'm new in the civil engineering industry & would like your input on software that can perform illustrations (add highway signs, text, etc.) esp. on aerial maps for presentations. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

-JB

Answer
Adobe Illustrator should be the one that can do the job.  Sorry to say, I haven't the civil experience so I could say what I use, but I did a little investigating.  You can use this software for thirty days on a trial basis.
Here is the URL for the Adobe Illustrator program:

Good luck to you

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
