Automatic Wiring for Electrical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic and P&ID Circuits
Since being acquired by Siemens in 2022, Electra Cloud has evolved into Capital Electra X. And as of 2025, we’ve officially rebranded as Capital X Panel Designer.
Does your electrical schematic software automatically wire your symbols? With Capital X Panel Designer or Capital Panel Designer (On-premise), you can.
Discover how our cutting-edge electrical CAD software, revolutionizes schematics automation with automatic wiring. This feature streamlines the creation of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and P&ID circuits, enhancing speed and efficiency.
Find out how our Autowiring feature automatically wires your schematics and help you to complete your electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and P&ID circuits even faster.
Traditional CAD tools require manual wiring for each symbol, a repetitive and time-consuming task. Autowiring changes the game by automatically connecting wires between symbols placed adjacently, boosting productivity by 300%.
The problem with traditional CAD software in electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and P&ID circuits automatic wiring
If you are using any other CAD software, chances are, after placing your symbols, you would be required to constantly add wires. If it is a three-phase circuit, then you would be required to repeat the task of adding wires three times.
This process is slow, and detracts you from focusing on safety and design.
What is Autowiring?
Autowiring automatically connects wires when you are placing symbols horizontally or vertically next to another.
Autowiring smartly re-numbers wiring, ensuring electrical symbols are accurately connected, enhancing schematics automation. This advancement in circuit design software significantly improves the design process, focusing on safety and innovation.
Comparing the 2 videos above, the amount of time is very much reduced when using Autowiring, about 300% faster.
Saves time and reduces errors
Capital X Panel Designer detects the symbol and their wiring numbers, and automatically renumber them to the next sequential number, removing the need to add wires manually.
This greatly reduces errors and the amount of time spent on creating circuits, resulting in greatly increased productivity.
How to use Autowiring
By default, Autowiring is enabled, but you can disable it by going to:
- File and select Preferences
- Click on Capital X Panel Designer Options
- Unselect Automatically wire symbols on drop option
Let us know if Autowiring should be always enabled, even when you are moving a symbol, therefore your feedback is critical for us to make it even better.
