The Drawing Express package includes a selection of commands for use by the landscape architect, which have been developed in collaboration with UK based landscaping companies.

This section of the software can be used in the production of drawings and reports for everything from garden design to larger commercial schemes.


Using the National Planting Specification (N.P.S.) as a background, the software contains information on over 1400 species of plants, and is capable of being continually updated to suit the needs of the user and the planting stock available. This allows complete flexibility in choice of plant and therefore of design.

The database can contain significant details about each plant chosen, such as the age, height, root, girth and density, cost and availability can also be added, giving an intelligent drawing which can be used to create detailed reports on your scheme.

Designing your project using Drawing Express is simple. Firstly the survey can either be manually entered using data collected from site, it can be scanned in and traced if you have an existing paper copy, or imported from another CAD system via DXF or DWG formats.

When the basic drawing is done, shrubs can be added individually as specimens, or can be used to create beds.

The system will measure the area of any shape or size of bed, adding the chosen plant at a given density; this information is then used in the plant report.

As well as beds filled with a single type of plant, they can also be created with a mix of up to 12 different plants being added to the bed area in one go.

Trees and conifers can be added to your design either individually or grouped together and, as with all Drawing Express drawings, can be freely edited, moved or copied around the drawing allowing any scheme to be easily modified to fit your clients needs.


Drawing Express can also be used to detail climbers, bulb planting, hedges, grassed areas and hard landscaping on your design. When your design is complete reports can be generated on either the whole project or specific smaller areas as required.

Every aspect of the drawing can be interrogated from an individual plant type, i.e. shrubs or climbers to a report containing the details about every plant in the scheme.

Cost reports can be produced, giving an instant idea on the overall price of your design, and the design can then quickly and easily be altered accordingly to fit the clients budget.

Reports produced in Drawing Express can be printed onto you drawing, shown on the screen, or exported to other programmes such as Microsoft Excel for further work.

When the design is finalised and the reports generated the drawing can be printed out, and with the addition of colour, scanned images, pictures from a digital camera, and notes a beautiful presentation drawing can be produced.
