Designers and electrical engineers in search of a tool to automate numbering, BOMs, cross‑referencing, and leverage design reuse for fast, efficient schematic and panel layout creation

About SkyCAD

SkyCAD automates wire and component numbering, manages parts lists and BOMs, updates cross‑references, creates panel layout designs, and more. It features automated numbering, BOMs, and parts‑lists management, automated cross‑references, license sharing, and requires no training. With unique design‑reuse features such as design‑by‑systems and configuration management, the software ensures efficiency and consistency. It offers intuitive, user‑friendly tools for generating PLC and other component blocks automatically and can generate PLC drawings from an I/O list in Excel. The panel layout design is supported directly within the platform. SkyCAD supports European and American drawing styles. A rich tutorial library and responsive support forums empower users to get up to speed quickly. Standard (free) and advanced licenses are available, with the free license meeting the needs of many users and the advanced license providing additional features at a reasonable cost.
