PerfectTablePlan is the easiest way to create a seating plan for your wedding, party, or event.

Import existing guests lists, experiment with table sizes and shapes and assign guests to seats with a single mouse click.

No more fiddling with scraps of paper!

Unlimited duration trial.

Note: Now requires OS X 10.7 or later.

Enhancements

• Additional layouts Name only (extended radial) and Name only (extended banquet) have been added. This allows additional space for guest names. It is appropriate to use these when you have a single table (e.g., an E-shaped table) or widely spaced banquet tables and some guests have long names/titles (e.g., Livery Company or Masonic events). However it may result in overlapping guest names if you have tables close together (e.g., a typical circular table layout).
• PerfectTablePlan now warns you if you try to import an Excel spreadsheet with >= 10,000 rows or >= 1,000 columns. This can happen when someone accidentally adds a space at row 1,048,576.
• Previously PerfectTablePlan defaulted to 100% scaling when printing, if Fit to page had not been used for the previous print. It now defaults to Fit to page as we feel this is more helpful.
• PerfectTablePlan now includes a MobileX XLSX export file type for importing.

Advanced and Professional Editions

• The layout of Name only (radial) and Name only (banquet) (and the extended versions mentioned above) now allow more space for guest names on the outside of E-shaped tables.
• We have added a Livery Company sample plan. This plan shows that you can legibly print a floor plan with 148 names on a single sheet of A4 paper. It also shows the use of You are here personalised seating maps in the Stationery pane. Note that you need PerfectTablePlan Advanced or Professional edition to see the E-shaped table.

Professional Edition

• It is possible to import conflicting proximities for guests, e.g. both 'next to' and 'near to'. In these circumstances the behaviour was undefined. Proximities are now set in the following order: 'Near to' then 'Not next to' then 'Next to' then 'Not near to'. E.g., if 2 guests are set to have both 'Near to' and 'Next to' proximity, the 'Next to' proximity will 'overwrite' the 'Near to' proximity.

Bug Fixes

• Previously it was very slow to delete multiple guests if the Proximity pane was visible. This is now fixed.
• Previously snap to grid, room resizing and moving tables with cursor keys in the Floor Plan pane could be very slow for large plans. This is now fixed.[Fixed in v5.2.2]
• PerfectTablePlan scales fonts smaller if it can't fit names into the space available on the Floor Plan and Table Plan panes using the user-selected font. However it sometimes scaled fonts smaller than required. This is now fixed.
• The position of 45 degree text in Name only (radial) layout has been modified to stop the text overlapping the table.
• Name only (radial) and Name only (banquet) now do not wrap text across multiple lines, unless the display name includes a ** line break.
• Previously the Table Plan pane zoomed back after dropping a guest. This is now fixed.
• Previously the Floor Plan pane could change scroll position or zoom level after undo/redo. This is now fixed.
• Previously the number of columns in the VDU Chart pane was set back to 1 every time a read-only plan was refreshed from another computer. This is now fixed.
• 'section' has been added as an editable term in the Guest Chart pane.
• The user interface font is now set correctly for Mac OS X 10.10.
• The zoom in and zoom out values for the Floor/Table Plan pane mouse wheel behaviour field in the Preferences windows was the wrong way round. This has now been fixed. Note that the value is reversed if Mac OS X System Preferences>Mouse>Point and click>Scroll direction natural is unchecked.

Advanced and Professional Editions

• Previously PerfectTablePlan could crash when changing the number of seats in an E-shaped table in the Schematic pane. This is now fixed.
