Progress report
I have been working to achieve the new platform and take on board the new work flow
This is exactly what I want to achieve
To put the concepts in place I have stepped back to the signs
Researched and creating a sign library with the basic objects to Append to any new .blend file
The objects have all the naming and texture process complete
Append allows this info to be carried over and stored
New sign take the objects from the library and assemble
The text in the library is still text so you can edit with new name but the size and all other properties are set
One you have the text and text position sorted you convert to mesh ensure rotation and scale are set
Then recheck the object naming and your ready for Textures
Nice work flow
Next stage is sorting the textures into a single texture map
The internet has been playing up so holding up the learning process
Thanks for your tips
