What it does

AutoCAD-style drawing

Command line, object snaps, ortho, polar tracking, grips, and window, crossing and lasso selection.

Projects of sheets

ANSI sheets with a grid of zones (6-D1 references) and an editable title block.

Your own library

JIC/NFPA schematic symbols, panel footprints and parts. Three-phase power symbols, terminal strips and PLC I/O points.

Wires and wire numbers

Wires stay attached to symbols. Wire numbers (6001) number themselves, with distribution blocks (6001A) and off-sheet connectors.

Tags and cross-references

Device tags by page number (CR601), contacts linked to their coil, and cross-references that update themselves.

Files

DXF in and out, DWG in (AutoCAD R13 to 2018), PDF out.
