Available now: WSCAD ELECTRIX Update Service Pack 1

Innovations Overview

• Significantly improved search algorithm Search & Click
• New semi-transparent 3D view for control cabinet design to check for minimum distances
• Better building automation design through new variable placeholders for info links. This allows you to represent specific information of the symbol to be referenced and to create german VDI 3814-compliant status graphs
• Customisation of your electrical design: you can now include up to three logos into your electrical schematics
• Granular user rights management
• Referencing DXF/DWG files directly via the context menu
• New Weidmüller WPC export of cable manufacturing data to the Weidmüller Wire Processing Center (WPC)
• New interface menu for WAGO | Smart Script and WAGO | Smart Designer
• The interface to PHOENIX PROJECT complete marking now includes new placeholders for structure identifiers
• Improved PLM interface to PRO.FILE from PROCAD/REVALIZE: Export and import of PRO.FILE settings into WSCAD settings
• SIEMENS TIA software: in case of missing data, default values for the AML file will be automatically set
• Export of function list is structured by “project” and “element” and now also supports XML 2.0

A detailed list of all changes can be found in the Release Notes.

Improved performance

• Improved performance and stability
• Accelerated import of projects and large DWG files
• In the Project Explorer editing project texts is much faster, especially in large projects
• Faster update of the Quick Editor
• Copy and paste of multiple Cabinet elements is now even faster
• With the key combination Shift+Del you can now delete elements without further confirmation

Improved search algorithm (Search & Click)

ELECTRIX Search & Click has been optimised! With better filter options you can now find relevant articles, symbols, macros, settings and commands even faster. The advantages are overwhelming!

New Info-Linker symbols

Designing building automation now becomes even more comfortable with the new Info-Linker symbols! For example: data points are now visible in building automation (BA) and in your electrical schematics. Information from the symbol can be displayed even when Info-Linker and the symbol are not placed on the same page.

Simply link the info linker by entering the device tag (device designation). This way you can now create state diagrams graphs in accordance with the german VDI 3814 guideline.

New WSCAD interface to Weidmüller WPC

Wire assembly made easy: Transfer wire information from WSCAD ELECTRIX to Weidmüller WPC and benefit from efficient and automated assembly through the Wire Processing Center (WPC). This is a simple way to save time and money, reduce errors and increase your productivity.

Verify minimum distances via transparent 3D view

The 3D view in control cabinet engineering now offers the option to switch the enclosure to transparent. This makes it easy to see whether minimum clearances are as specified.

Include up to three logos in your electrical schematics

With ELECTRIX SP1 your electrical schematics can look more professional: by using up to three different logos you can individualise your electrical design. For instance you can now place a manufacturer logo, a customer logo and a beneficiary logo in the same electrical schematics. Strengthen your brand presence and get positive appeal and great recognition value for your company!

Granular setup of user rights

In WSCAD ELECTRIX you can now setup highly individualised access rights that give you fine control over which user is allowed to use which functions. This not only improves the security of your projects and data but it also increases the efficiency of engineering processes. In ELECTRIX SP 1, user rights management got even better!
