    Great help for new consultancies to determine which CAD package to opt in for. Looking forward to analysis on 2D and 3D. Hope they're out soon

      The 3D part with AcadE and Inventor is... Stupid. This will take some time...

    I tried many cad software for electrical drawings and settled with See Electrical. Using it for more than 15 years. Simple, faster and flexible. Easier to create documents, templates, and reuse many sheets from other projects.
    Compared to Eplan or Acad electrical, this can produce drawings twice as fast. And about 10 times faster than regular AutoCad. All software have some limitations..Weigh the drawbacks and choose.
    Regards.

      No doubt, See Electrical is a really great software package. But, Eplan is still more than a horse head in front, in my opinion. I'm also familiar See Electrical since they were called Caddy++.

    what is the shortcut key to get the symbol selection box pop up at 2:17:48? i can only do it through properties which is much slower and can't find the shortcut key on the eplan website.

      No, but EPLAN have trainings you should attend. You can only learn so much via UA-cam.

    Great video, How do you edit the macro at 2:09:42 directly, I can only do it by ungroup it first and then group it again and convert to window macro. Is there a shortkey for doing so.

      Hold down the shift key on the keyboard while selecting an object in a group to select that "sub object".

    Really great video. Will we be able to enjoy videos about eplan tutorials?

    • @ctrlaltel
      @ctrlaltel  Рік тому +1

      Take a class to understand the core philosophy of EPLAN. Then, tutorials will make sense.

    Is really a fair comparison when you spent most of your time in autocad creating linetypes, components and terminals, which will already be complete once anyone has Autocad for over a month?
    Also, Autolisp is a major benefit for autocad. I can draw a complete project with PLCs, panel layouts, and BOMs is just a few hours after we automated the process with Autolisp.
    If you choose to put in the time like any good Designer should, Autocad is much better than EPlan.

    • @ctrlaltel
      @ctrlaltel  9 місяців тому +1

      I started from scratch on both products, so yes, I believe it was fair.
      EPLAN does also have an API, so you can automate anything.
      Feel free to take on the AutoCAD Electrical challenge: ua-cam.com/video/cJwol-EJyuc/v-deo.html
      And also challenge me back! Looking forward to see you convince me that AutoCAD Electrical is so much better.

    why my AutoCAD screen is so different than yours?

    • @ctrlaltel
      @ctrlaltel  4 місяці тому

      Maybe because I'm running AutoCAD Electrical, and not plain AutoCAD?

    • @ctrlaltel
      @ctrlaltel  11 місяців тому +1

      Do you know AutoCAD Electrical? Capital Electra X? ExS ? EPLAN? PCSchematic? SkyCAD?
      No? How can you claim that E3 is the best then?
      I'll just regard your comment as a lame fanboy comment.

    It’s not even a comparison. I’ve used both, Eplan blows away Acade

    • @ctrlaltel

      I've used both as well. AutoCAD Electrical for 20 years. EPLAN for 5 years

    • @ctrlaltel
      @ctrlaltel  7 місяців тому +1

      Not unless you take a class to understand how Eplan works. It's NOT like traditional CAD at all.
