SolidWorks Electrical Professional

What do you like best?

Inbuilt symbol, manufacturer part library is very helpful, reports required for electrical design are instantly generated & easy to generate wire and cable harness report. New manufacturer part can be added to manufacturer library, marking & annotations around the symbol are automatically done as per user desire. Multiple user environment allows to multiple user to connect into single project. Projects works are automatically saved, need of save command is eradicated. PLC Drawings are done with minimum effort due to dedicated options for PLC drawing. Easy to cross verify the complete project by cross verify functionality like "Go to". Wire and cable numbering or ferruling are done automatically

What do you dislike?

System requires minimum 8 GB RAM with latest operating system version. Sometime software crashes when creating more than 200 pages of schematic design. SolidWorks Electrical Professional is only integrated with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD and other M-CAD software are unable to integrate. Signal flow functionality is not there in current latest version expecting signal functionality in future SolidWorks Electrical Professional version.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Windows 10 operating system is recommended for using SolidWorks Electrical Professional. To utilize 3D Electrical wire, cable routing functionality SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD is required.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I'm using SolidWorks Electrical Professional to design the electrical schematics of electrical control panel. It reduces time to design electrical schematics & instant generation of report functionality totally eliminates the report creation task. Wire/cable harness designing are done in very efficiently along with wire/cable properties like minimum bending radius.
