Facilitated
planimetry design
Wall design with selectable thickness
and inclination. Automatic wall connection
with intersection cleaning. Door and window
intersection with wall automatic cut.
Horizontal, vertical and tilted dimensioning.
Possibility of directly importing planimetries
(DXF format) from another CAD software
(AutoCAD® or similar) in order to
immediately generate the electrical system
design.
System design
Alarms, anti-fire, telephone, TV, hydraulic,
thermal and civil/industrial electrical
system design by means of symbol positioning
and covered wire/connection drawing.
Bidimensional design with wire value
regulation in order to exactly compute
wire, cable and channel length for the
final part list and for dimensioning
estimates.
Symbol libraries
Over 1000 symbols in conformity with
IEC norms. Visual symbol selection inside
of a window that displays all the symbols
of the selected library. Direct symbol
loading by typing their code (guided
mode). Unlimited possibility of either
easily creating new symbols or modifying
those already provided.
Electrical
panels and functional schematics
Automatic creation of electric panel functional
schematics starting from the system schematic.
Automatic dimensioning computation based
on distribution wires and protection devices.
Automatic table filling with all data
and descriptions. Customizable table shapes.
Possibility of creating the panel with
no need to design the related electrical
system.
Powerful graphical
functions
Design with Cartesian, polar and tilted
axis. Selectable measure units, design
scale and grid points. A4, A3, A2, A1,
A0, A, B, C, D, E or customizable sheet
size. Predefined or customizable title
block. Design on up to 256 layers. Automatic
area sketching. Automatic quotation.
Design import/export
in DXF format from other CAD programs
DXF interface to import designs in DXF
format from other CAD programs (e.g.
planimetries processed with AutoCAD®
12, 13, 14, 2000, LT).
Symbol legend
automatic creation
Automatic extraction of the schematic
legend with symbol direct computation.
Computation
and dimensioning functions
Computation of cable load, section,
voltage drop and length in conformity
with parameters such as absorbed power,
current, voltage, environment and cable
temperature, cos-fi, cable type, placing
type, number of wires in the cable and
its insulator type. Functions to verify
the protection devices, such as computation
of s. c. min. current, min. protected
length, I2t.
Part lists,
bills of materials, estimates
Very simple and immediate creation of
part lists, bills of materials and estimates
thanks to a complete database which
stores part numbers, descriptions, prices,
etc. that can be used in connection
with symbols placed on the design. Possibility
of using either the UNI-TOOL internal
database or external price lists provided
by other electrical device suppliers
(the following formats are supported:
Microsoft Access®, Microsoft Excel®,
Paradox, dBIII and dBIV, Metel).
Possibility of using UNI-TOOL cable
link in connection with UNI-TOOL
Manager for more
complex bills of materials and special
functions (labor tables, cost analysis,
warehouse management functions, etc.).
Color print/Print
preview
Possibility of using any ink-jet/laser
printers and plotters supported by Microsoft
Windows®.
Help on line
Direct access to information about every
available command.
UNI-TOOL
plan auto-training course
For better training in UNI-TOOL plan
you can use UNI-TOOL
Assistant, an interactive
training-course about UNI-TOOL CADs
on PC.
The course is based on hundreds of descriptive
texts, pictures and examples in order
to let you discover all the commands
and techniques necessary to realize
from simpler to more complex electrical
system designs.
Thanks to guided descriptions of all
available commands and detailed procedures
you'll come to a deep knowledge of UNI-TOOL
CAD structures, and you'll be able to
take advantage of all their potential.
Totally developed
for Microsoft Windows®
User interface totally organized in
conformity with Microsoft Windows®
standards for the leading application-oriented
programs (Word, Excel, etc.), a feature
that makes the program very easy-to-use.
