New WSCAD search function ensures efficient electrical engineering
A
newly launched quick search function for WSCAD ELECTRIX is helpings users to speed up the delivery of electrical engineering projects . Electrical designers can now simply enter a keyword and all associated functions , components and information will be instantly displayed , ready for use in design documents .
Being competitive in electrical engineering relies on creating and transmitting information quickly . From the initial schematic diagram to control cabinet design , planning and engineering data needs to be available to the whole project team as fast as possible .
There are two essential features for professional electrical designers using CAD software : the right technical design toolset to enable flexible working , and the ability to search for the right function or component for the task quickly and easily .
Quick and easy : in WSCAD ELECTRIX , electrical designers can search for components using the new quick search function Search & Click and insert them directly into design documents – without the need for selection via the menu bar .

To support this , WSCAD has launched a new Search & Click function that can be accessed in any area of the CAD environment . By using the menu bar or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Q , users can now source functions or components faster , making it easier to meet electrical and cabinet layout design targets .
For example , if the user wants to insert a new symbol or part into a schematic design for a control cabinet , rather than opening an additional Symbol Browser or Part
Management window , all they have to do is enter the relevant term in the search bar . This displays a categorybased results list . When searching for a part , the user can simply double-click on their selection to insert it in the document they are working on .
In WSCAD ELECTRIX , the search bar can be used for all major software function areas . It includes both menu commands and basic settings , as well as symbols , parts , macros and reference names . Consequently , delays during
The search results are ordered by category : double-click on your chosen part and it will be inserted in the place provided in the document you are working on .
the planning and engineering process caused by lengthy searches in different programs become a thing of the past . To execute the corresponding command , all users have to do is double-click on the results list when reusing predefined assemblies and subcircuits .
