WSCAD SUITE X PLUS is the forerunner version of our current E-CAD software WSCAD ELECTRIX. Customers who are currently still working with WSCAD SUITE X PLUS and have a current maintenance contract will continue to be served as part of the maintenance contract. However, the software will no longer receive any further functional enhancements.
To ensure that you always benefit from the latest technologies and improved performance, we strongly recommend switching to our innovative and user-friendly ELECTRIX E-CAD software. Compared to SUITE X PLUS, WSCAD ELECTRIX not only offers a variety of new features, but also up to 100% faster performance in terms of response time and processing speed. Thanks to the Search & Click function, ELECTRIX users design on average 30% faster than with WSCAD SUITE X PLUS and also benefit from a newly developed editor and the new and extended interfaces to our partner companies such as WAGO, Scneider Electric, PHOENIX CONTACT or Weidmller.
Please note: As of 1 January 2024, we have discontinued support for Internet Explorer for all WSCAD products. It is no longer possible to import data from wscaduniverse.com directly into the SUITE.
Background: Microsoft discontinued support for Internet Explorer in June 2022. Internet Explorer has been disabled on Windows systems since the beginning of 2023. For security reasons, Microsoft advises against using Internet Explorer.
If you want to download data from wscaduniverse.com after 1 January 2024, you must use an up-to-date browser, download the data in the browser and then import it manually into WSCAD SUITE. Or you can migrate from SUITE to ELECTRIX and save yourself all the effort.
Users of the WSCAD ELECTRIX software need not worry, because ELECTRIX does not use Internet Explorer, but supports modern browsers.
Watch this video on YouTube. New info linker symbolsOptimise your building automation design with the new Info-Linker symbols! View data points in the Building Automation (BA) schematic and in any other schematic pages, such as Electrical Engineering (EE) schematics. You can now display the information from the linked symbols without having to place the info linker and symbol on the same page. Simply link the info-linker by entering the device designation. This way, you can now create condition graphs, flow charts, function charts, etc. in accordance with the newly structured VDI 3814 guideline.
The drawing area is now 5x larger than the selected sheet format. It gives you more comfort when designing and placing components. You can now rearrange the components in the schematic more quickly and easily save information and screenshots that are only relevant to the design process.
Wire assembly made easy: Transfer wire information to Weidmller WPC and benefit from efficient and automated assembly through the Wire Processing Center (WPC). This is a simple way to save time and money, reduce errors and increase productivity.
In the 3D view, the control cabinet can now be switched to transparent. This makes it even easier to see whether minimum clearances have been kept. It avoids errors that would otherwise only become apparent after the manufacturing process.
Step up the look of your schematics and make them look more professional. With ELECTRIX you can include up to three different logos in your schematics and individualise your electrical design. For instance you can now use logo of a manufacturer, a customer and a beneficiary. Or simply strengthen your brand presence and increase the visibility of your company!
Defining individual access rights to every user gives you control over what users can do in WSCAD ELECTRIX. This improves data security and increases the efficiency of the overall engineering process. In ELECTRIX user rights management got even better!
The components database wscaduniverse.com is part of WSCAD ELECTRIX. Instead of creating parts manually, with WSCAD ELECTRIX you can chose from 2.1 million of parts from 400 manufacturers and simply insert the right component directly into your schematics. It is free of charge. With one click the symbol and the associated component data is stored in the schematics. The parts data in wscaduniverse.com is updated monthly.
The reason the description fields are blank is because you removed the drawings from the project. The Drawing Descriptions are stored in the .WDP file, the Project Definition File, not the drawing itself. The reasoning behind this is that the same drawing could be used in a different project and serve a different purpose in that project. For example, you have a favorite motor circuit drawing. You copy it into a new project. In the previous project the drawing description stated that it was a pump motor circuit. In the new project, the motor is controlling a conveyer. You define the drawing's purpose for a project after you add it to the project. Of course if you create a New drawing for a project, you fill in the Description fields as you define, file name, INST, LOC, Sheet, etc.
Hint: You can export the Drawing Settings to a spreadsheet, prior to removing the drawings from a project, and then use Update From Spreadsheet to repopulate the data after the drawings are added back. The radio button is labeled as "Drawing Settings" but it will export both Drawing Settings and the Drawing Descriptions, as listed in the .WDP file. This feature was added in release 2012, so I don't want to confuse anyone else who might read this who is using an older version of AutoCAD Electrical.
Now remember the whole point of the original exercise was to demonstrate when adding new drawings to a project that the descriptions fields are not mapped into the drawing properties but strangely everything else gets into it
Listen, your rudeness! I answer questions on this forum at my own expense. I don't work for Autodesk. If you don't like the software, call Autodesk. The purpose of this forum is to help people understand what the software CAN do, and to share ideas, not to constantly badger Autodesk or anyone else.
I take MY time to write these loooong answers so everything is clear to a reader, not just the reader who posted the question, but others who might read the post in the future. If a short answer would suffice, that is better for me, but I try to do what is better for readers of this forum who are trying to learn the software on their own. I could withhold the answers, spend time with my family, and only help those who pay to attend my training classes. But I know that there are those on this forum in a foreign country who might not be able to pay to get to a class.
I find that short answers often lead to more questions, so I try to anticipate every possible angle that someone might struggle with and cover it. And I'm not just answering that one post; I am anticipating that someone else may read the post later, and their struggle may be from one of the other angles. And again, my purpose is to help them understand what the software CAN do now, not to redesign it on this forum.
I was hesitant to even answer your post, but I knew the answer to why you were getting those results, and thought I would try to help you, even though you have been rude. But never again! You are on your own buddy!
Why don't you just go buy the other software you love so dearly, that does everything you can possibly imagine, and always works perfectly? Or better still, why not develop your own software, since you know so much about how software like this should function. The people, yes people, at Autodesk work ridiculous hours to provide this tool for us. I appreciate what they do. I have requests for enhancements as well, but I simply send the idea to them for future consideration. I don't verbally abuse them and whine at them incessantly. They are human beings who work to make us happy. Imagine how they feel if we ignore all that they did well only to insult them when something is not to our liking. You could go back to a drafting board or use plain AutoCAD. How would you feel if it was you being told constantly that you're an idiot? Yes, please develop your own software, and be sure to pay for a discussion forum like this one, so we can all harass you!
I added a post to the AutoCAD Electrical Idea Station about the drawing descriptions being lost when drawings are added to another project. You can vote for it by clicking the Kudos button. I also logged it in our tracking system.
I don't think there is a perfect workaround since as others have said the drawing descriptinos are in the .wdp file and not on the drawing's WD_M block where the other values are stored. If there are a large number of drawings you might want to just copy the project and its drawings to the new project name. Then the drawing descriptions are maintained. Another option is to edit the .wdp file manually to copy and paste the drawings, along with their descriptions, from one .wdp to another. Just don't have the projects open in AutoCAD Electrical when you open and edit the .wdp files. The .wdp format is described in the Help topic, About the Project .WDP File.
Pat, as a work-around couldn't we export the Drawing Settings of the project they are added into, and edit the Description Lines in the spreadsheet? At least this way you don't have to open each drawing and edit its Drawing Properties one at a time. Just export Drawing Settings, edit them all at once in the spreadsheet, and then update from the spreadsheet, which will fill in the missing Drawing Descriptions. This is the way I currently do it, when the need arises. I just haven't found a better way with current versions of the software.
yes, this is another option. And if the Drawing Descriptions are the same it is even quicker. Export, add the drawings to other project, import drawing settings.I didn't include it in my workarounds since you had mentioned it already.
Thanks Pat! I just wanted to be sure. I like spreadsheet edits. I get to see all attributes at once. Sometimes I catch a typo, a part number missing, wrong part number. I'm so thankful you guys gave us that capability. For quick and simple, I use Find/Edit/Replace, but for mass edits and a quick view of project data, I like to export to spreadsheet.
