Electrical CAD software tutorial videos

All parts of the electrical documentation in one file
See how easy it is to get a survey of all parts of your electrical projects - including tables of contents, chapters, diagram pages, mechanical layouts, automatically updated lists and automatically generated graphical cable, terminal and connection plans. See also how to locate symbols easily - for instance all symbols for a component. Watch video [2.2 MB].

Copying areas and pages with intelligent renaming
See how to copy areas in projects, how to copy pages in projects, and how to copy pages from one project to another. See how the program renames the symbols in the copied areas and pages intelligently (optional). Watch video [2.4 MB].

On-line updated references and Contact mirrors
See how the created documentation automatically creates references between e.g. all symbols for a component, for easy survey of components. See also how to use contact mirrors.
Watch video [2.5 MB].

Basic symbol functions
See how to place symbols from the Pickmenu and from the Symbolmenu, and see how to draw lines manually and automatically. See also how to copy symbols and areas, and how to replace and align symbols. Watch video [2.4 MB].

Placing symbols with Article data
See how easy it is to place symbols with attached article data - fetched from the database. See also how the program keeps track of the unused symbols for the components in the project.
Watch video [2.4 MB].

Basic PLC references
See how to use PLC survey symbols, and how to jump from the survey symbols to the diagram symbols for the PLC - and back. See also how to edit PLC data, and how to update PLC lists.
Watch video [1.6 MB].

Simatic ET200S PLC: From configuration tool to PC|SCHEMATIC
When you use the Simatic ET 200S configuration tool, PLC symbols and article data can be transferred to PC|SCHEMATIC Automation automatically. In the video, you can see this:

Configure the Simatic ET200S PLC in the ET200S configuration tool
Export a parts list from and import the parts list in PC|SCHEMATIC Automatio
In PCschematic: A window opens - with all selected components in the PLC
Click on a component in the window, and a new window with all PLC symbols for the component opens
Place the symbols for the components in the schematic diagrams
Article data are attached to PLC's and accessories automatically
All lists in PC|SCHEMATIC Automatio can therefore be updated with PLC data automatically

Drag'n Draw: Creating Projects using Modules
This video shows how to create electrical documentation by simply dragging pages and sub drawings into electrical projects - and how to update project lists with data from the sub drawings.
Watch video [1.3 MB].

Drag'n Draw: Using Sub Drawings with different sets of Model data
This video shows how to use sub drawings with different sets of model data, so that you can use the same sub drawing with different sets of model data. The video also shows how to start a new project by opening a Project Template. Watch video [1.2 MB].

Creating Sub Drawings by Copying from diagram pages
This video shows how to create sub drawings based on existing diagram pages. The video also shows how to drag the created sub drawings into projects. Watch video [0.8MB].

Automatic Project Generation
This video shows how to generate projects automatically based on a project definition file.
Watch video [1.0MB].

Automatic generation of Graphical Terminal, Cable and Connection Plans
This video shows how to generate graphical termnial, cable and connection plans automatically. These plans can also be updated automatically. Watch video [1.6MB].

Mechanical symbols and Measurement objects
In the databases for PCschematic ELautomation, you also find mechanical symbols for the components. When you have placed the electrical symbols in your diagrams, the program can therefore automatically fetch the mechanical symbols for your mechanical layouts.
On the mechanical layout pages, you can also place intelligent measurement objects.
