Software for electrical drawings and project management

January 2002 SCADA/HMI

Mimic Crafts is now offering Mini Mega, a specialised German electrical CAD package that enables electrical control engineers to produce professional electrical diagrams with speed and ease. It has powerful features and comes in three modules: Basic, Automatic and Mega.

The Mini Mega has the full functionality of the top of the range Mega Module, but is limited to 10 pages and one unit of work per project. It is suitable for the smaller, turnkey engineer who requires the full electrical Project management package, ie Project management, Component symbol libraries, Component database, PLC manager, Contactor manager, Cable manager, Foreign language translator, Cabinet layout manager, thus it is a powerful time-saving tool. It is also possible to import and export to other CAD programs. MS Excel and MS Access compatibility makes for easy and rapid production of materials lists for ordering and costing purposes - there are real benefits to be had in repetitive drawing and ease of use of existing standard stocked components.

The Mini Mega is available at low cost and serves as an introduction into the world of combined drawing and project management systems.
