Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import from other ECAD tools?
Yes, common exchange formats are supported; expect some manual cleanup of symbols and device data on first import.
Does it generate manufacturing documents?
BOM, cable lists, terminal plans and panel layouts are generated directly from the schematics.
How are revisions handled?
Revision control tracks changes per page and device, so updates stay traceable.
Is multi-user editing possible?
Projects can split into page-based work for parallel editing; coordinate access with your team.

Tips from Real Projects
A thirty-unit panel series built from ETAP 20 as the single source of truth shipped with zero wiring discrepancies. What worked: every recurring circuit stored as a macro with variants, and a nightly PDF snapshot archived automatically. Lock macro versions per project — a mid-build library update rippling through released pages is a weekend nobody gets back.
