The default template that ships with the plugin is fully functional and the simplest approach is to modify the practice logo, fonts and layout. Going a little deeper, the template manager allows you to add new custom layouts, north arrows, stamps, in addition to defining project thesaurus terms. Templates can be adapted to mirror your existing title blocks.
Yes, this can be achieved using the inbuilt template manager tool. If your practice requires assistance migrating existing title block templates, please contact us.
Yes, DOCOpack has been developed in a real-world professional environment and has been used to deliver large scale construction packages.
While there is currently no charge to use DOCOpack we do plan to introduce a subscription charge later to cover maintenance costs. We have not developed a pricing model at this stage however we plan to make it nominal to ensure we can continue to develop and refine the software.
The export functions in DOCOpack use the inbuilt RhinoPDF driver to export layouts to PDF adhering to strict file naming conventions in addition to combined and individual pdf generation. This does not prevent you printing in the standard way using any preferred printer.
