Intelligent re-use of entire circuits.

One of the most powerful tool in Electra® is its Intelligent Copy and Paste. No special tools or utility, just copy and paste, and Electra® will be able to automatically and correctly rename all your symbol references and wires (nets). Draw once and re-use your circuits many times, for unparalleled productivity and reduce costly, error prone repetitive tasks.

Let's say you have a schematic that requires 5 units of 30kW motor starters with a complicated control circuit. All you need to do is to draw one, copy it and paste it, Electra® will take care of the rest, saving you a tremendous amount of time.

Intelligent Copy and Paste is also extremely helpful, especially on your complicated control circuits. For example, you may have a safety relay that is used on all 5 control circuits with the reference R2, just deselect R2 and other nets or symbols you do not want incremented and 5 complicated control circuits will be completed in only slightly more than the time it takes you to complete one.

Save an entire circuit (motor starters are the most suitable) onto a drawing, open it, select all of it, paste it and never have to redraw your commonly used schematics again.

Automatically count/generate terminals.

Even terminals are intelligent in Electra®. The terminal symbol display as red when it is not placed on a wire (net). Once placed on a net, the terminal symbol will follow the net it is placed on.

Use the TerminalList symbol/shape to generate accurate terminal listing in seconds compared to error prone, time consuming manual methods. Modify and change your wire (net) names on the fly, rest assured that your terminal listing will be automatically updated (see below).

Know exactly how many terminals you use on a panel for fast and accurate costing by using the TerminalBlock symbol/shape which automatically counts TerminalList when organized in a block.

Automatic wire detection and Intelligent Magnetic Technology.

Shows red when a wire is not detected and black when detected. Follows wire like a magnet once a wire is detected.

Real time cross reference.

Electra® comes with real time cross reference to help you produce error free electrical designs, saving time and increasing productivity. Less errors also means less communication problems with the shop floor, higher customer satisfaction and minimized last minute ad-hoc changes on site.

Wanted to know how many contacts had already been assigned to a relay? Wanted to know where you have placed them? Just right click on any symbol or wires (nets) in Electra® at any time to view real time cross reference information.
