DF Designator is a tool to create a fortresses from "blueprint" image files and some support for Quickfort csv files. It supports many of the actions required during DF construction.

It has an advanced gui to manages the different blueprints, create plans that span multiple z-levels and assign hotkeys for easy access.

Download it and open one of the examples to give it a try.

You need java to run DF designator. If it complains java is missing. download it at http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp.

DF Designator is developed in java and is platform independent. To create the gui however, I've used QT jambi which is not. I could include the libraries for all platform and for the all platform sources I've just done that, but they are rather large.
