WSCAD 5.2 - FTP Directory Listing

Design capture
General
In this chapter, you will learn about the most important features of the
Professional version of WSCAD 5 by completing a small sample project. You will
use the 'Favourites' 'EXAMPLE' and the database 'EXAMPLE.MDB' and you may
find it helpful to study the sample drawings on the preceding pages. The complete
practice example can be found as 'WSCAD example project 1' in the Project
Manager.
Hint
Please note that this sample schematic aims to answer questions of the
type: "How can I ....?" It does not reflect the usual procedure for creating a project.
While reading this section, please refer to the foregoing sample drawings
Norm IEC 61346
All examples are created referring the norm IEC 61346 which is valid since
01.June.2003. This international norm changes the reference names of symbols to
represent the symbols function oriented and administered.
In WSCAD it is possible to draw with the “old norm” or with the “new norm”.
The following example is using the “new norm”.
Hint
The new norm IEC 61346 contains function informed reference names. For
this reason the existing reference names differ to the new reference
names.
e.g.: a manual motor starter have had a reference name “–Q”. Since
01.June.2003 it is defined as a protection installation and now has the
reference name “-F”.
Setting up a project
General
The Project Manager is the central organizer for all your projects. It enables you
for example to copy, to import and to export projects, and allows you to make
auto-saves for creating regular backups. You can also set up a customer database
referring back to this data later.
The first step is to set up a new project. A folder is created which contains the
entire files specific to the project. On the pull-down menu, select 'File – Project
Manager'. This will open the Project Manager.
Some example projects have already been created. To get the details of an existing
project, select the project name with the mouse. In the right-hand window, all the
information about that project is displayed. Now select from the menu 'Project-
New', to create a new project. The following dialog appears:
