AutoCAD Electrical
Here you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions about AutoCAD Electrical and cadett ELSA. How has cadett been affected by the introduction of AutoCAD Electrical? The most obvious effect is that our sales - also of cadett ELSA - has increased rapidly. The volumes, the profit and the market share have all been part of this positive development. How is AutoCAD Electrical affecting the continued development of cadett ELSA? The development department has been able to concentrate its resources on one single platform. An explosion in new functionality is ahead of us as a consequence of this! For how long will cadett ELSA remain on the market? cadett ELSA has been strengthened by the introduction of AutoCAD Electrical. The future is bright. We can not foresee an end in time for cadett ELSA. We prepare for another 20 years with the product. How compatible are cadett ELSA and AutoCAD Electrical? The continued development will result ini full transparency between the combination cadett ELSA/AutoCAD Electrical and clean AutoCAD Electrical, making it possible to use AutoCAD Electrical for simple editing and similar, also in the same project where the advanced functionality of cadett ELSA is a requirement. The present version is providing full graphical compatibility, but not yet logical, which however will be offered later on. How is AutoCAD Electrical doing when used for European needs? Add-on's are needed to make AutoCAD Electrical an effective tool. cadett has developed these and offers everything from simple localizations for the simplest needs, to the most advanced cadett ELSA Professional, for the most demanding. How is the situation in other countries? AutoCAD Electrical is developed in the United States with focus on American requirements. The US market is consequently dominated by AutoCAD Electrical. The Scandinavian countries, possibly with exception for Denmark, are quite similar to each other. Local add-on's are important and cadett is playing an important - even dominant - role. Which role does cadett play for AutoCAD Electrical? cadett ELSA is sole VAR (Value Added Reseller) for AutoCAD Electrical in Germany with the entire European Union as its market. We are also reseller for FutureCAD CityData, and an Autodesk Authorized Developer. In our primary markets we have sold about twice as many AutoCAD Electrical as all of our competitors combined. Which technical advantages will AutoCAD Electrical provide compared with cadett ELSA? None what so ever! This question is put in an incorrect way since cadett ELSA is using AutoCAD Electrical as platform and thereby adds functionality and performance. Which are the main technical advantages that cadett ELSA is adding to AutoCAD Electrical 2007 and 2008? Here you will find a few examples of functions that are added by cadett ELSA: Performance. Typically you will gain a factor of 10-30. Some operations however are 200 times faster or even more. Item and reference designations according to IEC and DIN standard, that is with levels, different aspects and transitions. Large projects. You will be able to work with projects containing hundreds of sheets, up to several thousands. Super projects. OnLine references between sub projects. Full OnLine automatics.

Our in-house developed product cadett ELSA was originally created - in the mid 80's - as an application on top of AutoCAD. Now - in the 2000's - it is instead developing to an application on top of AutoCAD Electrical. It goes almost without saying that we thereby reach both higher and further.
