Sign Customiser now measures every custom shape you upload — plaques, circles, stars, pill shapes — and uses its real proportions everywhere: on screen, in the price, and in the file your manufacturer cuts from. Upload any outline and trust that what your customer sees is what they get — a rounded square looks genuinely square, a circle is truly round, and the preview matches the finished sign.
What’s Changed
- True to real-life dimensions - A rounded square is now genuinely square on screen, not a stretched rectangle wearing the name. Every shape is drawn at the exact proportions it will be manufactured at, so the preview, the quoted size and the sign that arrives all agree.
- Pixel-accurate to the shape you upload - Every custom shape is measured against its true outline, so the shape your customer sees in the customiser matches the file you uploaded exactly. No more small drifts between the preview, the quoted size and the finished sign.
- Proportions are never distorted - A custom shape owns its own ratio. Your customer sets one dimension and the other follows automatically, so a circle stays a circle and a star stays a star at every size — there is no way to stretch or squash a shape out of proportion.
- Custom sizing only for shapes - Preset size cards no longer appear once a custom shape is selected, because a preset would either have to match the shape’s ratio or distort it. Customers drag the size slider or type a width or height, and a padlock confirms the proportions are fixed by the shape they chose.
- Pricing that matches the real shape - Signs priced by area are now worked out from the shape’s true measured dimensions rather than an approximation, so the quote reflects the material actually being cut.
- Manufacturing files that match the design - Orders for a custom shape include a precise cut path for the exact outline and size the customer chose, with lettering converted to clean cut lines — ready to go straight to production.
- Clearer guardrails when you set a shape up - Border margins and custom shapes are mutually exclusive, because a shape already owns its proportions, and the size settings now say so plainly instead of quietly ignoring the value. If a shape’s padding or your minimum and maximum size limits leave it with no usable size, Sign Customiser names the shape and tells you what to change.
- Shape wording in your own voice - The new customer-facing messages — the finished size readout, the note that proportions are fixed by the chosen shape, and the size-adjustment prompts — are all editable per customiser and translatable like every other label.
