Mini-Cad to Design Pneumatic Diagrams
Mini-Cad to Design Pneumatic Diagrams
Easy Scheme is a new mini-CAD specifically conceived for users of pneumatic systems. Developed by Metal Work, the product, consistent with the existing Easy Sizer, allows users to design pneumatic schemes and functional diagrams easily and quickly; it can also generate automatically part lists for the components used in the diagram. Functions include main graphical elements (lines, circles, ellipses, rectangles, etc), all editable in shape and colour. Notes, texts and labels can be added and modified. The user can design using a snap grid with customisable dimensions. Easy Scheme can import graphical files in dxf format and export files to dxf and tiff. The programme comes with a library including over 700 pneumatic symbols drawn to ISO 1219-1 standard. Efficient tools are available to create new symbols, also starting from existing ones. The symbols can be connected to each other automatically or by manually drawing lines. In most cases, a symbol can be associated to a component from the electronic catalogue of Metal Work products (e-catalogue): in this way, the symbol is added to the part list with the code and description of the selected component. With Easy Scheme, one can automatically generate a part list including all the components used in the diagram. New items can be added manually to the part list, or existing items removed. Each part list can be incorporated in the drawing or exported to a text file and then edited in a spreadsheet. To check possible mistakes, a specific function checks that the circuit has no open connections and that there are no overlapping symbols.
