computer design

[midgetman]

Is there any good and not too expensive design programs for computer to draw designs of wiring systems in a domestic situation? Anyone? Anyone?

cheers. i'll try that. never thought to click the +. i was clicking on installation.

 

[telectrix]

all i can get is a huge list, cables, parts etc. click on anything, nothing comes up

Try selecting "Installation Drawings" ... that should give you some "drafting paper" at the top of the screen, you should then be able to drag/drop walls/doors etc to design the room layout then add sockets etc (default height for sockets is 200mm .. the man from delmonte say non!).

Which bit did you download Telectrix? I downloaded the wrong bit first. I then found that I needed to download and install the SEE Electrical Building (FREE) bit.

I could then see bits.

It looks like a Microsoft Office based application, a bit like Visio...

don't get anything like that. in workspace i get say installation with a blue square, then below that a load of guff with green blobs on the left

Looks really good.... Gotta be better than AutoCAD that we use.... All that flipping annoying command line stuff!!

Not sure if this would help Google SketchUp

Cheers!

On the view tab at the top do you have "symbols" selected (mine was by default).

Looks good! Going to have a play! I can see all the symbols as well.
