Project engineer Machinery ### "By far the best schematic software avaliable." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 12, 2020 There are barely any snags and it does work very well. Support is excellent and Pros The library, connection lines and the symbol edit function. Cons Printing to pdf, and rolling the drawing header out in the organisation. And removing/hiding port names. It a litte tricky drawing in old dwg-files after converting them to hdf. - It does work good enough. Reasons for choosing HydroSym I had a trial period of both programs and HydroSym was just much better. Better component catalogue, better interface, easier to use, and much much faster from sketch to final drawing.

They are very complete! Cons The speed the zoom in / zoom out function works is faster than our CAD drawing, so we need to get used to it.
