Easy-to use Electrical Engineering Software

I like that it is easy for me as an engineer with little knowledge about electrical design software but plenty experience using AutoCAD/AutoDesk products; this product makes things easier than they could be otherwise without having those skills. It's relatively expensive compared to competitors such as Revit or ArchiCad which are free options from Autodesk (also have other paid versions). For my job at least so far there isn't anything really wrong per se just not much else available if you're

Pros
  • Excellent layout editor tools
  • Highly flexible format support including 3d CAD files, raster images,
  • Full featured mechanical toolset.
  • Easy interface customizing via XML file creation in case user wants some specific elements customized beyond default capabilities provided through standard GUI configuration process no coding required.
  • Very large variety supported data sources allowing users flexibility regarding formats used throughout their entire system while being consistent
Cons
  • I don't really have any dislikes about this, everything is just fine

Very useful engineering tools designed by SolidWorks engineers

It is easy to learn with all its functions, it has an excellent documentation that can help you along your way, it allows me to design better projects, I am getting more confident every day using this software. Not much at the moment but everything works as expected. For example when designing a project we don't have problems with generating documents or creating BOMs for our clients. We also like how fast it runs even though it's not super powerful hardware wise. Sometimes there are some minor

Pros
  • The overall functionality
  • Availability/installation process without hassle (and support too)
  • Documentations provided through Google Drive very helpful!
  • Interface layout & workflow
Cons
  • Almost never

Overall great application and learning curve

I like that it is very user friendly with all its features being easy for me as an electrician who has limited technical knowledge about electrical design software (I am self taught). It does not do well when you try using different fonts or font sizes which makes finding notes difficult if they are small print type text within your drawing/documentation files etc.. This can be fixed by increasing resolution but this will cause other problems such us screen size issues so always keep these…

Pros
  • The interface looks good, clear & simple to use once familiarised..
Cons
  • Some difficulties
