Students
Design smarter, save time, and comply with regulatory requirements with PC Automation
Used daily by students and faculty
Designed to make your everyday life easier
PC Automation is easy to use and quick to get started with—even for students and apprentices. With access to the Component Portal, you work with real components and can easily create bills of materials and other relevant lists used in real-world applications.
The free “Getting Started” guide walks you through the process step by step with text and images, and the program also includes examples that show how the assignments are structured.
If you need help, PC SCHEMATIC Support is also available to students, so you’ll never get stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the program for both control systems and home wiring?
Yes—PC Automation supports schematics for electrical, pneumatic, and other systems, as well as control panels and building installations, with symbols for installations, alarms, and more.
Is all the data automatically included when I reuse drawings?
Yes. Symbols and data are copied intelligently—including updates to reference designations
What limitations are there in the school version?
You can create projects just as large with the school version as with the “full” version—in other words, there are no limits on the number of symbols, pages, lists, or anything else. However, you can only download one component at a time from the Component Portal, and you must update it at least twice a year.
The school version differs from the “real” program in that it adds a watermark that says “School Version.”
Can I use the same program for everything?
Yes. You can create control systems using components from the Portal. You can use Panelbuilder to create residential panels with heat loss calculations.
For all project types, the program includes examples with explanations of how they were created. You can start an installation project with a floor plan—which can be imported as a PDF—and place “lights and outlets,” alarms, etc.
What if I’m missing a symbol?
You can create your own symbols and use them in the diagram—and use them if/when you create your own components.
What if I’m missing a component?
The built-in Component Guide helps you create your own components
