Hi everybody, I am looking for a really good Electrical CAD program.
Our company is currently in a Kafkanian situation: Last year, we have bought the Electrical designer from Aceri (Spain). It proved to be a very badly designed software. It just could not run more than half an hour without crashing the computer and losing all the data. It was a $4.000,00 loss without counting with our own time loss.
After some research we have found EPLAN. They have a good website, I went from Brazil to London to see it working, learned that they had a rep in Brazil, and decided to buy it. This time the loss was even worse. The Eplan Software is very bad (in my opinion).
It crashes lots of times (but it does not loses its data, so we consider this a "minor" problem)
In our opinion, the worse, is that it is really very confusing. I really don't believe that anyone in EPLAN has ever heard about "user friendly". We have very good engineers graduated in the best universities of the country, but they lost more than a month working without any good result.
I think that the EPLAN is just too burocratic and confusing. Anyone who buys it is going to lose time (and money).
I would appreciate if someone can tell me about the other softwares that are in the market.
I just need a solution to this situation, otherwise, if I keep buying bad software, my reputation will be destroyed.
Do you have any info about Ecad Plus, ELCAD, Promise, Via development, Elektra-Cad, Wireworks or any other software?
I'll be very gratefull if someone can help me.
