Questions

Electrical design software: common questions

Which should I learn?
The one your employer or customer uses. EPLAN for European OEMs, AutoCAD Electrical where the shop works in Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS Electrical for machine builders on SOLIDWORKS.
Which electrical CAD tool should I learn first?
EPLAN if you are heading for panel builders and OEMs, AutoCAD Electrical if the plants you target use Autodesk; both courses are free and the drawing principles transfer.
