Engineer Industrial Automation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great if you will use it daily" October 7, 2019 5.0 I found myself a little overwhelmed at first with the menus. I prefer a cleaner, more intuitive interface but you will get used to it. If you won't use it often you won't be able to memorize the menus and won't be very productive with this program. Pros You can make electrical diagrams fast and clean. Most of the IEC symbols are already in the libraries so you can start right away. If you make use of templates and save synchronize configurations in all your machines all of your diagrams will have the same format and design style. Tags can be helpful to organize the project but takes a lot of discipline to implement correctly. Cons Navigating the menus is not easy at first. To access many of the options/features you have to navigate several menus and is hard to remember the path to some useful but not very recurrent tools. Review Source KS Kunal S.
