WSCAD ELECTRIX review
Broad Windows-based electrical CAD for integrated schematic, panel, routing, and documentation work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WSCAD ELECTRIX is Windows-based electrical CAD software for engineers, control-cabinet designers, industrial electricians, facility managers, and maintenance teams. It brings medium- and low-voltage schematics, wiring diagrams, cabinet engineering, piping and instrumentation diagrams, electrical installation, and building automation into one platform. Standards-oriented symbols, component data, engineering documentation, manufacturing outputs, and reusable project macros support work that extends beyond schematic capture.
Its strongest differentiator is breadth across electrical and panel engineering. Cabinet and control-panel work includes a 3D view, collision checking, and wire routing, while Project Wizard can generate projects from reusable macros. The platform also includes interfaces for PLC, PLM, ERP, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and related systems. Named integrations include Siemens TIA Tools, SolidWorks, Siemens Teamcenter, SAP PLM/ERP, PTC Windchill, Enovia/VPM, PRO.FILE, OpenPDM, and Komax. That combination suits organizations coordinating design, documentation, production, and engineering data across connected workflows.
Pricing is handled through contact sales, with subscription and perpetual-license options rather than publicly listed ELECTRIX prices. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. ELECTRIX AI adds assistance for automation, translation, requirements checks, and project support. The product is a strong fit for teams that need integrated electrical, cabinet, installation, and engineering-system capabilities in a desktop environment. Teams seeking browser-based deployment, a free tier, or publicly posted pricing should look for a different tool.
