THE PERFECT TOOL FOR
CIVIL AND INDUSTRIAL
ELECTRICAL DESIGN
PRESENTATION
UNI-TOOL
Plan is software
developed for the Windows 95/98/NT platform
for civil and industrial electrical design.
UNI-TOOL Plan
is a powerful 2D CAD tool to generate, in
an extremely easy and fast way, room planimetries
on which a user can place symbols and wires
of the electrical or other installation.
Together with the planimetric system design,
you can directly extract single/mulit-wire
schematics of the corresponding electrical
panels.
The program has specific functions for cable and protection
device dimensioning.
UNI-TOOL
Plan directly extracts from designs, bill
of materials and part lists (with detailed
descriptions, prices, technical data, etc.)
extracted from the UNI-TOOL internal database
or from other external database files.
UNI-TOOL
Plan also perfectly integrates
and interfaces with UNI-TOOL Manager, another product of the
UNI-TOOL family. WithUNI-TOOL
Manager it's
possible to extract more complex and detailed
bills of materials and elaborated estimates
filled with prices, labour tables, costs
analysis and warehouse management functions.
UNI-TOOL Plan
is developed in a proprietary environment absolutely
independent from any other CAD software (AutoCAD®
or similar). Engineers or installers will find
in this product all necessary commands and tools
necessary for the completion of an electromechanical
design without the need to resort to other external
software. UNI-TOOL
Plan's complete
independence from other systems has made it possible
to develop its' specific features and commands.
Thanks to these features, you can generate schematics
and designs in a much faster and intuitive way
than compared with programs that operate on a
pre-existing basis.
UNI-TOOL Plan is very easy to use because it works with Microsoft Windows®.
UNI-TOOL Plan is inexpensive because it's completely autonomous: it doesn't need other CAD software (as AutoCAD) to operate.
Therefore its cost is offset with the completion
of the first project!
MAIN
FEATURES
Facilitated planimetry
design
Wall design with selectable thickness and
inclination. Automatic wall connection with intersections
cleaning. Doors and window insertion with wall
automatic cut. Horizontal, vertical and inclined
dimensioning.
Possibility of directly importing planimetries
(DXF format) from other CAD software (AutoCAD®
or similar) in order to generate electrical system
designs.
System
design
Alarms, anti-fire, telephone, TV, hydraulic,thermal
and civil/industrial electrical system design
by means of symbol positioning and covered wire/connection
schematics. 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 drawings
Automatic creation of electrical 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
Drawing 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 up to 256 layers. Automatic
area sketching. Automatic quotation.
Import/export drawings from other CAD software in DXF
format
DXF interface to import
designs in DXF format from CAD programs (eg. 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, enviroment
and cable temperatures, 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 in 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.).
Colour
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 CAD tools on PC.
This course is based on hundreds of descriptive
texts, pictures, and examples in order to let
you discover commands and techniques necessary
to generate simple to complex electrical drawings.
Thanks to the guided descriptions of all available
commands and detailed procedures you'll arrive
at an in-depth understanding of UNI-TOOL CAD structures,
and you'll be able to utilize all its' potential.
Totally developed for Microsoft Windows®
User interface totally organized in conformity
with Microsoft Windows® standards
for the leading application-oriented programs
(Microsoft Word®, Excel®, etc.), a feature
that makes the program very easy-to-use.
