Who is WSCAD 5 suitable for?

WSCAD can be used to produce circuit diagrams for a wide range of applications such as control and automation technologies, measuring and regulating equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, power engineering, electronics, control cabinet layouts and many other areas. The program is particularly suited to small and medium-sized companies because of its simplicity of integration and intuitive "learnability". However, even in major industries WSCAD can prove itself indispensable, for example in the planning of production lines and similar software applications.

The combination of multiple functionality with ultra-simple operation is a key feature of WSCAD. In addition to all the expected functions, WSCAD offers some more unusual ones to make the production of circuit and wiring diagrams quick and easy.

What can WSCAD 5 do?

WSCAD is an ultra-modern tool for circuit design in all kinds of applications. WSCAD is the most productive CAD program on the market, combining maximum efficiency with economy.

WSCAD's rapid and intuitive access to all functions, its ease of navigation through the drawing sets, its simple operation and high processing speed allow you to create very large projects in a very short time.

Whatever your current design project, WSCAD can show you the simplest and most direct way to achieve your goal.

Something for everyone

With WSCAD 5 you simply obtain everything you expect from a modern circuit design software package.

The right tools and accessories make planning and order processing more reliable and accurate. All you need to add is the necessary measure of confidence.

A continual workflow from the start of planning through to contract completion ensures the smooth running of the production process.

Three Software Modules

The three software modules which build upon each other contain a tried and tested range of functions.

The Basic version is particularly suitable for commissioning, when the planning itself has already been completed and no more major alterations are anticipated. It is equally well suited to the creation of smaller, less extensive projects.

The Compact version is often found in the maintenance department. The strength of the Compact version lies in the adaptable circuit design, such as when an installation or machine already exists and needs a fair amount of modification. In addition, this version is especially suitable for the creation of diagrams for small to medium-sized projects. Various automatic functions are available to the user, such as cross-referencing, terminal charts, numbering and contact mirroring.

The Professional version is used in the planning, development and documentation of new projects. Here the user has at his disposal an extensive range of online and monitoring functions which are indispensable in the creation of new projects. Errors are eliminated from the outset and productivity is increased.

It does not matter which version you start with. There are no restrictions on upgrading from a lower module to a higher one. Single-user licences or network licences with common access to project data, database and libraries, or combinations of these, offer a systems-oriented method of working.

Why WSCAD and not the competition?

Our development engineers attach great importance to a simple, easily understandable structure for WSCAD. This means that the program remains both extremely flexible and highly adaptable to any area of application. At every stage of a project WSCAD supports the user, whether as a calculation tool at the quotation stage, during the project planning stage, at the implementation stage and even - thanks to its accurate documentation facilities - later on at the maintenance stage. The technical and graphical displays are always fully linked to the technical data and fully documented. In this, WSCAD's structure follows the same logic that applies in your own Development department.

The automatic processes built into the WSCAD program speed up the circuit design process even more. Extensive symbol libraries support the user, giving maximum productivity.

The user-friendliness of the WSCAD program is not confined to the intuitive arrangement of all the commands and the logical sequence of the program's operations. The user can configure the program as he chooses, using freely definable toolbars. The result is an efficient and relaxed working regime. Extensive help, search and sort functions make it easier to resume a long-suspended project and even help unpractised users to get back on track!

For problem-free data exchange, WSCAD offers a whole range of the most common file formats: DXF, HPGL, ASCII, dBASE, Excel, Access, ODBC and SQL are only some of the options available.

The international orientation of the WSCAD name is underlined by the availability of - currently - twelve different foreign language versions, which are in use all over the world and which guarantee the universal use of WSCAD projects. You, too, are welcome to join us: in our training centres we run WSCAD courses both for beginners and for more experienced users. Here users can learn to apply even the most complex features of the program to real-world type tasks.
