Ironcad: not re-creating dated 1980s thinking!
Are today's Solid Modellers productive tools, or have most CAD software vendors blindly copied dated 1980's modelling software which defeats many of the primary objectives of using CAD?
The viewer can also serve as a print utility to make hardcopy, and the user will not have to own WSCAD software.
The user can zoom to an area to enlarge a section of the drawing, and it is easy to browse though drawings simply by using the page up/page down keys.
Users of WSCAD can put WSView on their internal network, so that everyone in the business can view and print out electrical schematics.
WSView may be distributed to customers who can then read electrical drawings even though they have no access to WSCAD.
WSView can even be installed on PCs incorporated in electrical control panels.
WSView will not view AutoCAD files, it is an electrical CAD viewer, and only reads files in the universal WSCAD format.
WSCAD is low cost electrical CAD software for electrical schematics in control panel design and plant and factory electrics.
WSCAD is a CAD productivity tool that will speed up, and improve the quality of electrical and other schematics.
WSCAD is produced in 11 languages and distributed all over the world.
The user base comprises more than 30,000 companies.
