Project-oriented software brings you a wide range of major developments in Electrical CAD Design. All the data is contained in a single integrated file guaranteeing physical design integrity between all aspects of the design. Data flow between the tools is managed automatically in real-time relieving the user of routine documentation tasks improving the workflow process.
The system look and feel is not only easy to work with, it raises the bar in methods used in a CAD system for design and documentation, it is very easy to manage your projects from start to finish.
Highlights of Our Electrical CAD Software
Overview and Navigation
- Project oriented: All parts of a project gathered as pages in a single file - including diagrams, mechanical pages, lists, tables of contents, chapter dividers etc.
- Enhanced Explorer window: For easy navigation between projects and project pages and for finding symbols in project pages
- Net navigator for easy navigation through electrical potentials
- Cross references are created and updated automatically for all types of components: Click and jump between the symbols for a component or click in lists and jump directly to the component
- Object Lister for overview over all objects in the documentation and for editing their attached texts/data. (Texts can also be edited by clicking on the individual texts in the project pages)
- Show available window: Easy access to all components with unused symbols
Reference Designators, Templates, Subdrawings, Project Generation...
- Creation and handling of reference designations at component, area, page and project level (function, location and product aspects) - according to IEC 81346, KKS or user defined standards
- Reference designations handled intelligently when changing, copying and merging pages and projects
- Project, page and list templates - just drag them into your projects
- Subdrawings / subdiagrams with attached article data - just drag them into your projects. Possible to select different sets of model data for each individual subdrawing
- Module and Model Based Drag n Draw: Create full projects just by dragging in pages, sub drawings, lists and sub projects
