Are you still searching\u00a0or have you already started designing?<\/span>
\nCreate schematics with one click with Search & Click.<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1710942747442{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”]On a single engineering platform, the software combines the six disciplines of electrical engineering, control cabinet construction, installation technology, P&ID, fluid, and building and room automation.\u00a0As a result, the software includes a plethora of functions. Beginners, in particular, were frequently overwhelmed by the number of possibilities.<\/p>\n

With Search & Click, WSCAD users could not only easily find functionalities via the quick search (Search & Click), but also insert them into the schematic with a mouse click. There is no easier way to design! To illustrate this, we created a video challenge to demonstrate how fast our quick search is in practice<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1687360664773{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\n

Call Search & Click and make the right search query<\/h4>\n

The quick search can be opened by pressing CTRL + Q (Windows)\/ Command + Q (Mac) or in the top right corner of the menu bar.<\/p>\n

A dialog window will open.\u00a0Simply type in the term for the function you want to perform, and all relevant results will be displayed.<\/p>\n

Search & Click can also be used to limit your search to a specific category. To do this, enter the category letter in brackets and a space in front of the search term in the dialog box.
\nIf you want the search for symbols, articles, and macros to include disciplines other than those on the opened page, use the Settings icon on the right to enable the Show symbols, articles and macros from all disciplines<\/strong> checkbox.<\/p>\n
