What it is

PCSCHEMATIC Automation, also called PC Automation, is Windows CAD software for electrical documentation. It works with components and their relationships, generating bills of materials, cross-references and other required documents as installations are built.

Its component portal offers over 60,000 components with images, symbols and descriptions, while the Component Wizard helps users create or customize components for their own database.

Lists can be exported to Excel, XML and text files for use in relevant third-party applications. A COM/OLE Automation interface supports custom functions. The program supports DXF, PDF underlays and offline use. The free version is limited to 10 pages, 25 electrical symbols and 200 connection points, with demo component-portal access. PC Automation 200 costs €1325.00 per year, billed annually, with a 12-month minimum; PC Automation Advanced costs €2280.00 per year on the same billing and minimum, without restrictions on pages, symbols or connections.
