Elecdes Electrical CAD Software

Electrical CAD and Wiring Diagram Software

Elecdes is the 2D electrical CAD design module of EDS, used for the production of intelligent circuit diagrams including; electrical schematic diagrams, wiring diagrams, 1 line diagrams, cable block diagrams and loop diagrams. Elecdes has a rich set of CAD drawing and database tools to automate and speed the production of electrical circuit diagrams, and comes with standard symbol and manufacturers parts libraries.

Elecdes electrical CAD software is for users creating multi-sheet electrical CAD circuit diagrams for construction, switchgear, process, vehicle, control, manufacturing, power generation, and transmission and distribution (T&D) industries.

Compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, and LusoCAD. →
Features

Electrical CAD Diagram Production

Design intelligent circuit diagrams faster with built-in automation and extensive libraries.

  • 10,000+ symbols across IEC, ISA, ANSI, IEEE, JIC, JIS, and AS standards.
  • Intelligent editing - insert, move, copy, and delete components while automatically maintaining connections, line breaks, and snaps.
  • Automated generation of terminal strips, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, BOMs, and cable list tables directly on-drawing.
  • PLC module builder with thousands of current I/O cards from major manufacturers.
  • Rapid device deployment — swap contacts with a single click, insert relay subcomponents up to 90% faster, and insert parts directly from the catalog with automatic symbol selection.
  • Smart annotation — automated wire and rung numbering, equipotential wire naming through terminal strips, incremental tag defaulting, and project-wide cross-referencing.

Database Functionality

Manage your entire project from a single, connected database.

  • 200,000+ manufacturer parts from ABB, Siemens, Square D, Alstom, Telemecanique, and others — pick parts during circuit construction.
  • Automated reporting — wire lists, cable lists, conductor lists, BOMs, drawing indexes, wire label/ferrule lists, and revision tracking all generated from your project data.
  • Real-time cross-referencing for relay contacts/coils, tag names, and conductor continuations, with navigation tools to locate components across sheets.
  • Project-wide global editor for mass updates to tags, wires, terminals, and specs — with optional spreadsheet or external database integration.
  • Cable scheduling — design and manage cabling entirely from the database.
