Electrical Software - CAD or Another?

[Stuuk1]

Hi all,

Not been here for a little while... So hope everyone is doing well.

I'm currently busy on a £5million project and need to get some drawings amended. Its a pretty simple "As Installed" drawing I need to do but I'm stumped on software..

I have the drawings already in PDF format but struggling to get these in DWG from the designers.

Does anyone know a free or cheap software to edit PDF files and also where the electrical symbols would be? It's only simple 3g switches, double sockets etc.

Also, regarding CAD (if I get the correct file formats), would I need the standard CAD software or the electrical version? Not sure if the electrical version caters more for electrical diagrams whereas I need it for plotting symbols on a floor layout...

I hope this makes sense and look forward to seeing some of your replies.

Student licence would not be much good as I bought a proper student version some years ago when you printed a copy of the drawing you got with drawn with student version along all 4 sides.

ah fair enough, well you can get the full version cheap.

its legal to resell licenses so a lot of corporate customers use there bulk licenses to sell a load on the side
