It is designed to dramatically speed up the process of creating schematics by automating many common tasks like wire numbering, component tagging, and terminal block generation.
✨ Key Features
- Runs on Microsoft Visio
- Automated and intelligent wire numbering
- Automatic component tagging
- Powerful circuit reuse capabilities
- Automatic generation of terminal blocks, BOMs, and other reports
- Pneumatic and hydraulic circuit design
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Extreme focus on speed and productivity
- Leverages the familiar Microsoft Visio interface
- Very easy to learn and use
- Excellent customer support
Unique Value: Delivers dramatic time savings in schematic creation by automating tedious tasks within the widely-used and familiar Microsoft Visio interface.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Engineers creating control schematics significantly faster than with traditional CAD.
- Companies standardizing on the familiar Visio platform for their electrical design needs.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Users without Microsoft Visio
- Complex 3D design
- PCB design
🏆 Alternatives
Significantly faster for pure schematic creation than full-blown CAD packages like AutoCAD Electrical, and more powerful than basic tools like ProfiCAD, assuming the user already has Visio.
