IGE+XAO North America announces innovative and advanced functionalities for its new version SEE Electrical V5R1.

In the V5R1 version, many new features have been developed:

A more user-friendly software, due to the new user interface:
• Navigation from Database list to drawings
• New windows selection mode which makes object selection easier
• Symbol rotation according to wire
• Program controlling now possible from the keyboard
• Insert components/terminals which are not in drawing by list

The user benefits from a faster and more reliable design:
• Integrated Function Location Manager
• Create and display several translations at one time
• Redlining functionality
• Copy or move single pages by drag and drop in project tree
• Show wire sizes and wire colors on wires
• Terminal/Cable plans information for potential names can be displayed
• Cable plan with shield information for cables

Finally, SEE Electrical V5R1 also offers exciting New Modules:
• “Intelligent Drawing Legacy”: The module, available in different levels of functionalities, allows :
o Load multiple scanned pictures automatically into different pages
o Use a pattern recognition tool: patterns (consisting of geometry and text) imported via DXF/DWG can be recognized and converted to symbols which match the SEE Electrical processes.
• “Smart PDF Printer” module: allows navigation in the project due to the cross references, and generates an overview of the project tree and of the components.
• “Solidworks Entreprise PDM interface” (EPDM): provided by Solidworks, EPDM offers new functionalities such as check in, check out of projects, management of user rights for projects, life cycle management … This is the first step to enable collaborative design between Mechanical and Electrical CAD systems.
• “SolidWorks interface”: data exchange between Electrical and Mechanical CAD is now allowed due to “From/To” lists for wires and cable cores, saving time and reducing errors.
