Frequently Asked Questions:
Q.
What is Pool TemplatesTM ?
A. Pool
TemplatesTM is
easy-to-use software designed for pool builders and pool designers to create
professional pool plans, pool estimates, and construction drawings much faster
and easier than CAD based systems. It is built using the power of VisioTM
(the powerful, easy-to-use drawing program by Microsoft)
to provide the user with an easy-to-use design program that anyone
can use to create professional permit-ready pool plans, sales plans, and pool estimates in just minutes!
Once our Pro-SuiteTM
software is installed, you will have hundreds of pre-made and fully-editable CAD
shapes that you can 'drag-n-drop' instantly into your drawings which you can
edit (or create your own)! Also you'll enjoy many time-saving features such as
instant decking and copings, a built-in planimeter to measure area, perimeter
and volume, draw in any scale, import/export to AutoCAD, import plot plans,
faxes and hand-drawings to scale, and many more advanced features!
Q.
What do
I need to run your software?
A. Any
PC or laptop running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista and any recent version of
Microsoft VisioTM
will work fine!

shape or line for instant
accurate
measurements anytime!)

group and save them as your own templates!
Q.
Can I use existing hand-drawings or plot plans ?

drawing. You can can also re-scale to and from any scale, and design the
property or pool from that initial drawing.

to different scales ?

typically are not scaled) can be scaled! You can also:

Imperial or Metric.

Print to any size
paper (letter, legal, ledger, blue-prints, etc.).
Q. Can I use
my Mouse, a Drawing Tablet, or a Tablet PC?
