How does WSCAD ELECTRIX simplify your Project documentation by automating data sheet collection?
Electrical CAD software like ELECTRIX by WSCAD enables you to generate comprehensive Project documentation effortlessly by pulling together all component data sheets at the touch of a button. By utilizing the „External documents“ field, which is often automatically populated through wscaduniverse.com – the largest electrical CAD repository in the world, you can ensure that your schematic design is backed by complete technical specifications and manufacturer data without manual searching.
This tutorial guides you through the automated steps to streamline your documentation workflow:
- The Documentation Hub: Access the „External documents“ field via Tools > Master Data > Part Management to see where all your component information is consolidated.
- Direct Sync with wscaduniverse.com: Learn how downloading parts from wscaduniverse.com automatically fills your database with manufacturer links and data records.
- Live Information Access: Discover the benefit of manufacturer links, which provide real-time updates on part availability and successor components directly from the source.
- Centralized Storage Management: See how to configure the central directory for stored PDF files under Tool Settings > Directories > Externals to keep your files organized.
- Strategic Project Overview: Find out how to display the documentation field as a dedicated column, giving you a clear view of your project’s status at all times.
You can think of this feature as a digital librarian for your project. Instead of you manually searching through countless catalogs to find the right data sheets, the software acts as your assistant, fetching every required document from the archive and filing it perfectly into your project folder the moment you need it.
