Software utility that facilitates the creation of electrical diagrams with exporting to DXF, EMF and PNG format.
ProfiCAD is a freeware diagram designer app and 3D editor developed by ProfiCAD for Windows. It's professional, straightforward and reliable.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. We've also created some screenshots of ProfiCAD to illustrate the user interface and show the overall usage and features of this diagram designing program.
Electrical CAD software for designing electrical diagrams
ProfiCAD is designed for drawing of electrical and electronic diagrams, schematics, control circuit diagrams and can also be used for pneumatics, hydraulics and other types of technical diagrams.
ProfiCAD includes over 1000 symbols so you can easily create your own symbols in the symbols editor or have them drawn for you for a fee.
ProfiCAD supports automatic numbering of symbols, generation of netlists, lists of wires, bills of material, drawing of striped wires and further advanced features.
The program supports cross references between wires and between symbols belonging to one component (e.g. relay coil + contacts). A linked symbol on a different page can be accessed by clicking on the cross reference.
