Simple and ingenious: Circuit Diagram Assistant

The Treesoft CAD Schematic Wizard specializes in the rapid creation and analysis of comprehensive documentation for electrical engineering, hydraulics, and pneumatics. A wide range of automated features enables a high degree of automation in your project planning. A standout feature of the Schematic Assistant is the automatic assignment of a wide range of technical and commercial data to the symbols in the schematic. These planning functions—which go far beyond mere documentation—make Treesoft CAD a powerful tool for your company.

Basic Information About Treesoft CAD Drawing Files

Treesoft CAD drawing files are organized by layers and always contain 255 layers. When creating schematics in our CAD program, a schematic sheet is always drawn on a single layer. Within a project, multiple drawing files can be logically linked together. This results in a projectable schematic volume of several thousand schematic sheets per project, whereby:

Each layer can be set to active, visible, or invisible.
There is always one layer active.
The active layer is always visible on the screen.
All newly drawn or inserted objects are saved on the active layer.
The drawing frame is located on level 255.
When designing a circuit diagram, each layer corresponds to one sheet of the circuit diagram.

Treesoft CAD CAD Drawing File Types

The various CAD documents in a project are automatically assigned to a group and can be identified by the first three letters of the file name.

Circuit diagram = Vpl*.zng
Cover Page = Cov*.zng
Table of Contents = Idx*.zng
Terminal Diagram = Ter*.zng
Wiring diagram = Cab*.zng
Cable Layout Diagram = Cas*.zng
Wiring diagram = Wir*.zng
Device List = Pas*.zng
Production Bill of Materials = Pro*.zng

If a drawing file cannot be assigned to a group, it is listed under the general group “Miscellaneous.” Treesoft CAD Project Management also allows you to manage all external documents associated with a project.

Grid

When designing circuit diagrams with our CAD software, we recommend that you display the grid so that you can always align the symbols neatly with one another as you draw.

You can turn the grid on or off in the “Tools” menu. If you also select the “Snap to Grid” command, the crosshairs will move exactly along the displayed grid.

The grid points are not saved or printed; they are merely a drafting aid.

Your Benefits with Treesoft CAD Control Technology

DIN-compliant and well-organized circuit diagrams that look simply unbeatable
Complete specific tasks with ease—or even automatically—using add-on modules, such as CAD converters for DWG and DXF, and a quote generator for MS Word
Extremely fast workflow thanks to assistant technology, such as the Schematic Assistant for the rapid creation and analysis of comprehensive documentation for electrical engineering, hydraulics, and pneumatics
Extensive symbol libraries and easy symbol creation with the Symbol Wizard
Analysis module for the automatic generation of, for example, cross-references, terminal diagrams, cable diagrams, wiring lists, and bills of materials
Very good mouse control, but very simple and extremely fast keyboard control
Integrated Project Management – Plan, Manage, and Control Projects Transparently
Compatibility Guarantee and Long-Term Archiving of Elektrocad Circuit Diagrams / Electrical Installation Plans
Strong on their own—unbeatable together—Treesoft CAD can be used as a standalone application or as part of a comprehensive solution with Treesoft CRM and/or Treesoft ERP, and can be easily integrated with third-party products
Attractive licensing models specifically for education, schools, and students
Unbeatable value for the money—starting at 600 EUR, you’re all set with the fully equipped Treesoft CAD BASIS version. Configure your CAD solution with analysis or additional (time-saving) modules as needed—each additional user license, including all purchased modules, costs just 900 EUR!
