To be fair, these are more "custom" integrations that happened after the software was being utilized, but made possible because of SQL. This fit really nicely into our other business systems like inventory, ordering, and labeling. One of the major reasons we chose to go with SolidWorks over EPlan was the native MS SQL Server backend. However, our biggest gains came from upstream and downstream of the design process later on after we got into stride utilizing the software. Probably some in different ways, with different strengths and weaknesses. My guess is that electrical packages including P8 and AutoCad electrical will meet most of these basic goals. Repeatable 2D Panel Layouts, from the central parts database.Export of material into ordering and tracking for later uses.Improve title block automation for page numbering, customer name, etc.Centralized parts, part numbers, and symbols.Some of early goals, although basic, looked like this: all the stuff that just happens "automatically" with software designed for electrical schematics. So regardless of what we did, we knew that we would be picking up huge gains from wire numbers, page numbers, tos and froms, etc.
Elcad vs eplan manual#
We came from all manual (AutoCad LT) schematic sets. I can't really comment on P8 from lack of experience, although we did demo it early on.
To follow along with your format, some info on the business: I led a rollout of SWE a few years ago at my current employer.
