PlanDesign enables you to use drawings from any CAD-program. Not only can you directly import the Allplan drawing files into PlanDesign, you can also import import files from any other program using the dxf- or dgn-interfaces. Furthermore, PlanDesign supports almost all of the standard graphic file formats such as bmp, tiff, gif, pcx, wmf, Kodak formats (pcd and fpx), tga, pct, ras and eps. Photos and other bitmaps can be imported into PlanDesign and scaled to suit the layout requirements.Using this technique it is possible to use free-form sections of photos to form a collage.

The OLE (=Object Linking and Embedding) function enables you to import data from other windows applications such as Word, Excel or Photographs, for use in your presentation. PlanDesign also includes a basic word processing program. All of the TrueType fonts, installed on your computer are supported. There are hundreds of textures, structures and coloured transparents available at your fingertips in PlanDesign. A special print option ensures that the graphics and photos are printed in the best possible quality.
