A short guide to the editor, the direction logic, the standards engine and export.
Open the editor and add your first destination. Pick its direction and pictogram. WayX places it on the sign. Where the ADA binds, its rows are measured once the viewing distance and the mounting height are declared; until then the row says the clause was not checked. Add more destinations and watch the layout balance itself by direction.
Each destination has a direction. WayX groups consecutive destinations that share a direction and gives the group one shared arrow. 'Up' always ranks highest and floats to the top of its column. Left and right resolve to their respective columns. The columns balance by row count.
The Standards tab cites every check on its own row. Under the ADA it checks §703.5.5 and 703.5.6: those are law where the ADA binds, and while one of them fails there is no print file. Text contrast is checked as a WayX baseline rather than a legal finding, and the row says so. Where a sign is placed in the EU, ISO 3864-1 safety layouts are checked as advice that never withholds the file, with thresholds marked unverified until read from the licensed standard; under the US or another country there is no ISO 3864-1 row. Two further rows carry no standard at all: row density and bilingual hierarchy, which the panel labels a WayX convention. Where the ADA does not bind, a legibility index (30 ft per inch) is shown as advice, not as met or not met. Each row turns green when its clause is met, red when it is not. No score to interpret, just the check, met or not. The panel does not check §703.5.1, 703.5.2, 703.5.3, 703.5.4, 703.5.7, 703.5.8 and 703.5.9, and the verdict names them.
Type your colors swatch by swatch, and upload your fonts (TTF, OTF or WOFF2) and logos (SVG). WayX applies them to the neutral navigation palette only: the kit palette does not reach the safety colors.
Choose SVG or PDF. Every file is at exact size. The print PDF adds bleed and CMYK, and carries text as outlines so the print shop doesn't need your fonts. It will not export until every color on the sign has a declared CMYK value.
