CAD Electrical Symbols for Faster and Smarter Design

Electrical drawing software symbols with multiple forms

Symbols in Capital^™ X Panel Designer 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.

When making custom symbols, the electrical schematic drawing software automatically inserts intelligence to ensure symbols behave consistently, with automatic horizontal and vertical positioning.

Flexible PLC symbol

Whether it's an input, output or an analog module, Capital X Panel Designer's flexible PLC symbol allows you to generate any PLC module in an instant.

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.

Symbols that understand electrical systems

In electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, sometimes a single symbol will represent a single real world component (eg: a pilot light).

At other times, multiple symbols over multiple pages may represent one or more components (eg: coil, power contacts, auxiliary contacts represent a contactor).

Capital X Panel Designer is built to understand all these conventions and automatically assigns the correct components. When required, users can easily modify components, and generate bills of materials (BOM) quickly and accurately within the electrical engineering drawing software at any time.

Capital X Panel Designer totally understands electrical conventions and can help you quickly assign components to symbols

Electrical CAD drawing software symbols that looks awesome

Included in Capital X Panel Designer are 3D layout symbols that looks simply amazing. Use these symbols to generate a panel that stands out, without actually building the panel itself.

Making your own symbols in an electrical drawing software

Creating your own symbols in Capital X Panel Designer is super easy. Simply draw the required graphics and this electrical circuit drawing software 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.

Customizing existing symbols is even easier. Simply add in graphics, and Capital X Panel Designer will do the rest. Spend a minimal amount of time creating symbols, so that you can spend more time for safety, design and improving profits.

Making your own symbols is super easy in Capital X Panel Designer, just draw and Capital X Panel Designer will take care of the rest

Automatic cross-reference 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.

If a symbol is moved, added or removed, the AutoLocation will automatically update to show real-time cross-reference information. Right click on the AutoLocation, and you can jump to the symbols on any page for extreme productivity.

Easily view component information

Use the component tag symbol to easily view component information in your schematic.

Just place the component tag symbol and drag on the yellow control point, to view and display component information.

Easily view cable information

Use the cable tag symbol to easily view cable information in your schematic.

Just place the cable tag symbol on any wire that has been assigned a cable to view and display cable information.

Symbols that just works in multiple units

Symbols in Capital X Panel Designer 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.

Make an electrical symbol once, and use it again and again over multiple units

Automatic pin sets

Capital X Panel Designer automatically assigns pin sets, for easier and faster circuit design.

If a symbol with the same reference is dropped on a drawing, the next available pin set is automatically allocated. When no pin sets are available, pins will be shown in red to indicate a problem.

In addition, all pin sets can also be easily modified by right clicking and selecting Set Pin Names.

Automatic pin sets in Capital X Panel Designer helps you create circuits faster and automatically shows problems for more accurate electrical circuits

JIC/NFPA and IEC symbol library

Use Capital X Panel Designer right out of the box and create circuits immediately with the included symbol sets, including JIC/NFPA, IEC, Electronics, Layout, Layout 3D, Single Line, Prefabricated circuits, Pneumatic and Hydraulic valves and cylinders, plus many more.

Powerful search capabilities

Capital X Panel Designer contains powerful symbol search capabilities that just works, no special configuration required.

Symbol searches take into account symbol name, descriptions and any text inside the symbol, including a weightage for relevance.

In addition, you can also save these searches, so that you can use the over and over again without the need to search for them again.
