Key functionalities of Project Wizard

1. Automatic generation of schematic diagrams, assemblies, and cabinets

Time-consuming processes such as creating circuit diagrams, distribution boards, and technical documentation can be reduced at the push of a button. Project Wizard assembles macros and macro variants into complete projects.

2. Use of macro variants and variables ("variables")

Project Wizard uses macros with variable values (symbol texts, line numbers, functions, labels) that can be parameterized and adjusted in a tabular view – enabling multiple variants and configurations without manual redesign.

3. Saving system configurations as XML files

Macro configurations and project settings can be saved in WSCAD as "macro sets" in XML file format. This facilitates configuration reuse and exchange between different projects.

4. Versions: Lite and Expert

WSCAD offers two versions of Project Wizard: Lite (free of charge, included in ELECTRIX for users with active subscriptions or maintenance contracts) and Expert (an advanced version with greater flexibility and extended functionality).

5. Integration with external configurators and ERP tools

Project Wizard can be used in combination with configurators (e.g. BSG-ONEtool) and ERP databases to automatically transfer items, functions, and macro parameters into the WSCAD project environment, accelerating and linking the process from configuration to documentation.

Benefits for project teams and companies

  • Higher design speed: In companies that use configuration tools and macros, project creation time can be reduced by tens of percent compared to traditional design
  • Standardization and consistency: Uniformly structured documents, schematics, and distribution boards increase quality and simplify service and maintenance through a standardized documentation approach
  • Fewer errors, better version control: Automated management of variants and configurations reduces the risk of errors caused by manual adjustments
  • Flexibility in changes: When project variants change or are updated, Project Wizard simplifies regenerating projects with new parameter settings instead of complete redrawing

When is it most beneficial to use Project Wizard?

Project Wizard is particularly useful in the following situations:
  • Projects with a high degree of variation – where system configurations with variable parameters are frequently repeated (e.g. control panels, distribution boards, automated solutions)
  • Companies that use electrical system configuration tools or proprietary configuration workflows (such as BSG-ONEtool) and want to automate the transition from configuration to electrical design
  • Projects where short design time is critical or where rapid variation is required during the design, ordering, or construction process
  • Situations where documentation standardization is important – service, maintenance, revision, and project delivery
What does this mean for your company?

WSCAD Project Wizard is a powerful add-on for electrical engineering design that brings automation, standardization, and flexibility through the intelligent use of macros, variants, and configurations. By using Project Wizard, project teams can accelerate their processes, reduce rework and errors, and ensure consistent, high-quality technical documentation. Combined with configuration tools and ERP integration, Project Wizard becomes a key element of a modern, digitally optimized engineering workflow.

EXOR ETI can provide expert support in setting up and customizing Project Wizard configurations, preparing macro sets, and integrating with configurators and ERP systems, enabling full project automation from the initial concept to final delivery.
