Description

The schematic editor allows you to create unlimited designs. There are no paywalls for unlocking features. A built-in schematic editor and an official library of schematic symbols will help you quickly get started with your designs. Professional PCB layouts can be made with up to 32 copper layers. KiCad now includes a push-and-pull router that can route differential pairs and adjust trace lengths interactively. KiCad also includes a 3D viewer that you can use to view your design in an interactive canvas. To inspect details that are difficult or impossible to see in a 2D view, you can rotate and pan around. Multiple rendering options make it possible to change the board's aesthetic or hide and show certain features. The schematic capture in KiCad is fast and efficient. It also includes all the tools necessary to do so. The interface is focused on productivity. As large designs can be broken into hierarchical subsheets, there are no limits to their complexity.

Description

At WSCAD, we have been developing electrical CAD solutions for over 30 years. Customers include small to medium-sized companies, international corporations, and engineering service providers in the machine-building, panel manufacturing, and building automation industries. WSCAD software is used by over 40,000 electrical engineers as their electrical CAD solution. The software is based on one core platform that covers six engineering disciplines: Electrical Engineering, Cabinet Engineering, Piping and Instrumentation, Fluid Engineering, Building Automation and Electrical Installation. Any change made to a component in one discipline is instantly reflected in all other disciplines, saving time and improving quality. WSCAD ELECTRIX – our most powerful electrical CAD – is our brand-new offering. No matter if you are designing piping & instrumentation diagrams, fluid power or electrical schematics, cabinet engineering, building automation or electrical installation – WSCAD is the right tool for you. The new ELECTRIX features a fully new design engine (editor) and incorporates compatibility with standard formats such as DXF/DWG, as well as modern technologies such as augmented reality, multi-threading, and automation.
