What Neon Wizard is
Neon Wizard designs and produces full-scale neon patterns for signs and graphics. It can run as a standalone program or alongside other design and output programs, and is aimed at sign businesses making patterns or bending glass. Version 6.5 adds PDF import and export, improved AI and EPS importing, Adobe Type 1 and OpenType font importing, and anti-aliased rendering. Auto Tube Layout lets users set tube diameter, tube count, edge clearance, and gaps for channel letter layouts. The software displays current and total tube length, which the maker says can support quoting, job costing, and transformer selection. Neon Preview can show a whole layout as a group. Standard, Plus, and Pro levels have different capabilities; Plus adds scanning and vectorizing, image manipulation, advanced layout tools, and per-letter tube length summaries. Channel Letter Return Plots are included with Plus and Pro 6.5, or can be added to Standard for US$300.00. A demo can be requested by email, but it cannot save, export, or print or plot without an X overlay.
