Electrical Schematic CAD gets major upgrade
WSCAD 4.1 is being released with many new and improved features. It is the world's leading dedicated Electrical Schematic CAD software, produced in eleven languages, with 25,000 users.
To use the Iron Pro command, the user simply drags and drops the Iron Pro tool onto the part, or onto the modelling scene as appropriate, and the dialogs open guiding the user step by step through the task.
Tools include a comprehensive, user customisable range of engineering fasteners, a fully customisable bill of materials, a custom drilling utility, and a clever utility which enables parametric parts to be database driven with an automatic output to a custom bill of material.
This "proactive part" tool can automate repetitive modelling applications such as cabinet manufacture where panel sizes can be automatically extracted.
There is an interesting utility that teaches parts how to automatically orient themselves and attach themselves correctly to mating parts.
Iron Pro also contains several useful new IronCAD "housekeeping" utilities such as timed automatic backup, a sheet border utility which automatically populates drawings with project data, a part finder and an assembly manager.
