What Are Critical E-Cad Features?

Oct. 27, 2008

When expanding out of panel building into more complex machine control builds, machine builders are encouraged to upgrade from old and basic electrical schematic software to a more integrated tool set. What are some of the important functions to look for in a good electrical CAD program including how to judge databases, training requirements, upgrades and support?
