What PCSCHEMATIC Automation is

PCSCHEMATIC Automation, also called PC Automation, is Windows desktop CAD software for electrical documentation. It works with components and their relationships while automatically producing bills of materials, cross-references, and other required documents as installations are built. Default settings follow current electrical-industry standards for symbols, naming, text, and line thickness. Its component portal contains more than 60,000 components with images, symbols, and descriptions. The Component Wizard helps users create or customize components stored in their own database. Lists can be exported to Excel, XML, and 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 includes full-version features but limits projects to 10 pages, 25 electrical symbols, and 200 connection points, with demo component-portal access. PC Automation 200 costs €1325.00 per year, invoiced annually, with a 12-month minimum and limits of 12 pages and 200 symbols per project. PC Automation Advanced costs €2280.00 per year, invoiced annually, with no restrictions on pages, symbols, or connections. Subscribers receive weekday phone or email support, with remote technical support available.
