What it is
PCSCHEMATIC Automation, also called PC Automation, is a Windows desktop CAD program for electrical documentation. It works with components and their relationships while an installation is assembled, automatically producing bills of materials, cross-references, and other required documents. Default settings follow current electrical-industry standards for symbols, naming, text, and line thicknesses. Its component portal contains over 60,000 components with images, symbols, and descriptions. The Component Wizard helps create or customize components saved in a personal database. Lists can be exported to Excel, XML, or text files for relevant third-party applications, and a COM/OLE Automation interface supports custom functions. DXF, PDF underlays, and offline use are supported. The free version costs nothing and allows 10 pages, 25 electrical symbols, and 200 connection points, with demo portal access. Paid plans include PC Automation 200 at €1,325.00 per year and Advanced at €2,280.00 per year, both invoiced annually with a 12-month minimum.
