Welcome to WireCAD. WireCAD tools aim to decrease the frustration associated with creating accurate, detailed documentation. WireCAD produces DWG compatible drawings accompanied by either VISTADB or SQL Server databases containing all pertinent project data. WireCAD is a cable management and facility design tool that allows you to easily create AutoCAD™ drawings. WireCAD maintains a database of equipment, from which you can create equipment blocks for your drawings. Equipment blocks are created dynamically from information stored in the equipment database. Rather than maintaining a large library of equipment blocks or symbols, WireCAD stores this information in a database and then creates blocks from the equipment definitions contained therein. Equipment definitions are easily added to the database. In addition to equipment databases, WireCAD also provides drawing tools to rapidly create documentation, and database management tools to track:
Things really start to fly when it is time to assign System Names (unique IDs) and Cable Numbers to the equipment in your drawing. All you do is double-click on the equipment pieces in the drawing to assign them a system name. Then double-click on the cable and assign it a cable number. All of the information regarding the selected cable is extracted from the drawing and placed in the project cables database and the drawing is updated with a new cable number.
Extensive reporting is available for the project databases including:
| • | Power consumption and heat load |
In addition, a powerful report designer is included with WireCAD for creating your own reports and labels, or modifying existing report definition files.
