Find out how auto wiring drastically improves your productivity and lets you complete your circuits much faster
When compared to manual wiring, auto wiring is nearly 3 times faster with much fewer errors. In Capital Electra X, you only have to drop your symbols next to another, and Capital Electra X will automagically wire them to the next sequential wire, all without manual intervention.
Automatically snap symbols on rails to complete your panel layout drawings quickly
Symbols can be set to snap off center, and when symbols are detached from rails, they automatically rearrange, to ensure you get to complete your panel layout drawings easily and quickly.
Find out how intelligent numbering automatically tags your symbols and wires and helps you create circuits easier and faster
One of the most repeated task during electrical circuit creation is the duplication of symbols and wires. When duplicated, Capital Electra X will automatically and intelligently rename symbols and wires to the next available sequential number (eg: R1 to R2), saving an immense amount of time and avoiding errors.
What is smart inheritance, and how it can help you assign components to circuits quickly
In Capital Electra X, we really wanted to design an electrical CAD software that let you perform a task once and reuse everything else so that you get to get things done quickly and efficiently. Watch the video and find out more about how Smart symbol and wire inheritance can help.
How smart wires in Capital Electra X helps you complete circuits much faster with less errors
Wires in Capital Electra X are super intelligent. When a wire is placed on another, they will automatically be connected, and assume the name of the connected wire. Watch the video and find out more about Super Smart Wires.
How auto straightening wires helps you with less drafting, so you can concentrate on safety and design
Capital Electra X totally understands electrical conventions, and will automatically straighten wires to ensure your modifications are easier and faster. We stress over little things like this so that you don't have to.
How to use wire links and easily pair them to extend wires over multiple pages
In Capital Electra X, wire links allow you to connect a wire to another part of the page, or to another page.
Easily find the location of your symbols and wires with real time cross reference
Know exactly how many symbols and wires you have in your drawing, and their location with real time cross-reference. Produce highly detailed electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic drawings quickly and easily.
Powerful circuit reuse in Capital Electra X lets you save your circuits to be reused over and over again without much work
When drawing circuits, the most often used operation is copy and paste, and Capital Electra X will automatically rename all your symbols and wires accordingly, to ensure you get unparalleled productivity gains with huge savings in time and money.
How to save your own (prefabricated) circuits so your entire team can reuse it over and over again
Create circuits once, and save them to be reused forever. Build up a collection of your commonly used circuits and never redraw them again. Share them with your team, so the productivity gains extend to your entire company.
Easily assign components to your circuits to generate Bills of Materials
In Capital Electra X, you can assign components when you create a symbol, and when you drop the symbol onto your electrical drawing, your components will be reflected in the Bill of Materials (BOM).
How to customize your own component database, export to modify them and import it back into Capital Electra X
Organizing components and categories are super easy, with simple drag and drop and you're done. Components can appear in one or more categories for even more flexibility.
Smart symbols in Capital Electra X lets you generate terminal listing, display multiple forms and many more powerful benefits
Some symbols in Capital Electra X goes even further to help complete time consuming and tedious manual actions. Watch the video and find out more about it.
Find out how intelligent symbols in Capital Electra X can help you create electrical designs faster
Symbols in Capital Electra X can be used for both horizontal and vertical drawings with a just a single right click. Text and label positions are automatic, resulting in much faster design cycles.
Find out how you can generate your own custom PLC symbol easily
The Programmable Logic controller symbol contains smart tools that will allow you to generate symbols quickly without the need for much typing, reducing your workload and improving your productivity.
Capital Electra X totally understand electrical conventions and can help you quickly assign components to symbols
Capital Electra X is built to understand electrical conventions conventions and automatically assigns the correct components.
Making your own symbols is super easy in Capital Electra X, just draw and Capital Electra X will take care of the rest
Creating your own symbols in Capital Electra X is super easy. Simply draw the required graphics and Capital Electra X will automatically include rotation, descriptions, make sure everything fits well on the grid and insert data to tie a symbol to one or more real world component.
Find out how to insert cross references into your electrical circuit design with Capital Electra X's autolocation symbol
The AutoLocation symbol can be used to provide instant cross referencing across your entire project. When used on a reference, all symbols with the selected reference will be shown together with its location.
Make an electrical symbol once, and use it again and again over multiple units
Symbols in Capital Electra X are unit agnostic, meaning they automatically scale to fit the grid, irrespective if drawn on inches, mm, cm or meters. Make a single symbol, and use it on any measurement units without the need to remake them repeatedly.
Automatic pin sets in Capital Electra X helps you create circuits faster and automatically shows problems for more accurate electrical circuits
Pin sets are automatically assigned in Capital Electra X, for easier and faster circuit design.
Find out how Capital Electra X's powerful symbol search let you find and save your results easily
Symbol searches take into account symbol name, descriptions and any text inside the symbol, including a weightage for relevance.
Find out how to generate smart connectors with just a few clicks
The easy to use, flexible connector symbol will generate any amount of pins and labels quickly.
Find out how you can generate terminals quickly and automatically in Capital Electra X
Using and generating terminals is a snap in Capital Electra X.
Generate a variety of reports inside your drawings, with options to select fields and display them over multiple pages
Reports can be easily generated at any time with just a single click in Capital Electra X.
Use a variety of pre-made title blocks or easily create a beautiful one yourself
Capital Electra X provides a myriad of title blocks that is suitable for various page sizing, so you can use them immediately. In addition, Capital Electra X provides a wide variety of blocks so you can create your own title blocks quickly and easily.
Easily use page prefix to arrange pages and Capital Electra X will automatically keep all your numbering synchronized
When working on large, sophisticated projects, it may be advisable to separate drawings into multiple pages and use page prefix to denote symbol references and wire names. Once enabled, Capital Electra X will insert and maintain all your page prefixes automatically.
