MagiCAD Schematics

MagiCAD Schematics makes it easy to install symbols into the schematic drawing and store symbol definitions into the dataset. The symbol definitions allow you to define parameters with default values that will be included in the family when the symbol is installed. Symbols can be organised to user-configurable groups making the correct symbol easy to find on the new symbol installation tool palette. Symbol installation and line drawing are easy, as you can install a symbol simply by dragging and dropping the symbol to the schematic drawing from the tool palette.

Symbol installation and line drawings are made easy as you can install a symbol simply by dragging and dropping the symbol to the schematics drawing from the tool palette.

MagiCAD Schematics’ localised symbol libraries offer tools for creating your own customized symbols.

MagiCAD Schematics provides tools for linking symbols or lines in the schematic drawing with corresponding devices in the model, enabling synchronisation of parameter values between the schematics and the model. This ensures that that the information stays up to date during the project in diagrams, plan drawings, etc. You can configure and select the parameters to be synchronised and also define the direction of the flow of information, either from the schematic drawing to the model, or vice versa. For example, you can begin drawing the schematics with low level of product-related detail. Once the network is modelled and calculated, it is easy to transfer the calculation results together with e.g. device position codes from the model to the schematic drawing. This makes it easy to add tags containing more detailed information to the schematic drawing without additional manual work.

MagiCAD enables a connection between the MagiCAD Ventilation & Piping project and the schematic drawings created with MagiCAD Schematics. Once the schematic drawing is connected with the project, the same system information is available with both tools. This makes it possible to define systems earlier in the project when creating schematic drawings and then utilise the same system information when modelling the network. When the system information is stored in one place, it stays up to date in both schematic drawings and the plan drawings when changes are made during the project. MagiCAD Ventilation & Piping system information can be accessed through the symbols and lines added to the schematic drawings, making it possible for example to tag system temperatures directly to the schematic drawing.

MagiCAD enables you to connect the schematic drawings from MagiCAD Schematics with the Ventilation & Piping project by linking a symbol in the schematic drawing to the corresponding device in the model. When the schematic drawings and the model are linked, property values can be synchronised between symbols and devices, securing that the information stays up to date throughout the project in diagrams, plan drawings, schedules, etc. You can configure and select the properties to be synchronised and also define the direction of the flow of information, either from the schematic drawing to the model, or vice versa.
