4 WSCAD 5 Features of WSCAD 5 WSCAD is modular structured, meaning that you are able to start with the Basic - version and, at a later time, expand it to a higher-version (Compact or Professional) with more features. Drawings that have been made with a lower version are fully compatible with higher versions.

A Software Subscription Contract offers you the following advantages: Permanent extension and improvement of functionality Modification and extension of the program to meet new industry standards Free updates during the currency of the contract Always 'up to date' Online access (password-protected) to current releases Ability to control your computing costs Hotline service: telephone support and priority customer service via Symbols modified to meet new standards Password-protected downloads of the latest libraries and databases Special prices for training seminars When you take advantage of our software support service you will find that you can use your WSCAD software even more efficiently and cost-effectively.

6 WSCAD Training & Consulting Service A well-trained engineer can use the full functionality of the software, without having to waste time trying to learn it themselves. Investment in good training can pay for itself in a very short space of time. You can choose for yourself which is the best solution in terms both of training and economy: having standard WSCAD questions answered by IT specialists and colleagues, working from the manuals, or having the benefit of a WSCAD training course. In-house training courses Our experts will rapidly install the software onto your system, configuring it according to your requirements. This gives you a 'flying start', so that you can work productively from the outset without having to spend time looking for the appropriate settings and facilities. Alternatively, you can have a Company workshop day at our offices, where you will be free from the day to day distractions of your own site. Creating symbols and databases You can speed up the design process many times over by using specially created design elements tailored to your particular working processes. Not only does this dramatically reduce the time taken to produce new drawings, but it also enables you to maintain consistency of working standards, which in turn reduces errors and consequent reworking. Creating templates Our experts will set up your working environment, in consultation with you. This will cover everything from the initial design of the templates, user-specific settings, standard specification sheets etc. to the creation of drawing macros and circuit diagrams including terminal, cable and material lists for special control tasks. This may require a systems analysis to be carried out prior to installation, depending on the type and range of design processes involved. WSCAD 5.0 is the ideal tool for electrical designers, project planners, engineering offices and service providers, as well as for industrial and manufacturing control engineers. Just look at the advantages: a standard Windows environment such as Windows 98/2000/XP, ensures rapid familiarisation and simple, logical handling. The system requirements are those of the operating system in use. This ensures that installation is simple. The three software modules, each building on the previous one (i.e. if you have, for example, a Compact version you also have all the functionality of the Basic version), have a range of functions which have all been proved in practice. Upgrading from a lower module to a higher one can be done without any limitations. You can have Single-user licences or network licences with common access to project data, databases and libraries.

7 Total Solutions Joined up thinking We are fully aware that our WSCAD users do not work in isolation. Many users need to link into existing systems or export their data out to other users. So you will be pleased to know that whilst we work closely with WSCAD, we are fluent with many other systems including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor. We are also one of the UK s largest suppliers of CAD printers, plotters and scanners. Whether you are looking for a new start in CAD or upgrading to WSCAD from another system, you can be sure that you will get honest and unbiased advice as to which solution will work best for you. We can also provide users with a WSCAD file viewer. This is great for allowing users to view and print drawings but not edit them in any way. Digitisation Service Do you have a stock of diagrams or paper documents that urgently need to be digitised or copied onto your PC (i.e. drawn with full functionality)? If you also have to supply single plans in CAD format, then our WSCAD digitisation service is just what you need. Never again will you have to waste time on copy drawings! What does the service offer? Your circuit diagrams will be digitised into the tried and tested WSCAD file format. You can choose to have the plans digitised 'without logic' or 'with logic' for later use with automatic functions. In the latter case, the WSCAD diagrams enable you to generate and update listings. Our digitization service includes:. The conversion of paper drawings into CAD circuit and installation diagrams according to your instructions. The conversion of paper diagrams into WSCAD or other formats. The conversion from US-Norms into DIN Norms or other Norms. This digitisation service is also suitable for converting entire archives. We can also digitise non-electrical diagrams, such as building plans and control diagrams.

Basic version - The ideal program for making anything from simple diagrams to multiple page complex record drawings, where no drawing or listing automation is needed.. Compact version - Introduces the first stages of true automation, relieving the user of many of the tedious and error prone tasks of numbering, cross referencing and producing a Bill of Material. Professional version - Packed with automated features that speed up and simplify the design process. The ultimate solution for the serious panel builder and those working on complex projects. Our aim is to provide you with the most appropriate software, hardware and training at an affordable price. We do not employ high pressure salesmen and all our staff have technical backgrounds.
