Electrical CAD made simple
ProfiCAD
ProfiCAD is designed for drawing electrical and electronic diagrams, schematics, and control circuit diagrams.
It can also be used for pneumatics, hydraulics, and other types of technical diagrams.
Print Reports
ProfiCAD generates essential project documentation, including Bill of materials, list of wires, a list of terminals, a list of cables, as well as other critical parts of an electrical project.Symbols
The program includes over two thousand symbols. You can easily create your own symbols using the symbol editor.Title block
The title block designed in accordance with ISO 7200 can be easily adapted, for example by inserting the logo of your company. Alternatively, you can create your own title block in the title block editor.Cross-references
The program supports cross-references between wires and between symbols belonging to one component (e.g., relay coil + contacts).
You can access a linked symbol on a different page by clicking on the cross-reference.
Floor plans
The page scale allows you to enter the actual dimensions of objects. Dimensioning facilitates the drawing of floor plans and mechanical drawings.Cables and terminals
The program supports drawing cable symbols. A cable listing is available, providing an overview of their cores, cable properties, and connected devices.
Thanks to the terminal list, you have an overview of all project terminals and the cables and devices connected to them.
Advanced features
Some advanced features include automatic numbering of symbols, drawing of striped wires, instant symbol search, automatic insertion of symbols into a circuit, and others.Why ProfiCAD?

Who is behind ProfiCAD
ProfiCAD has been developed since 1997 by Vaclav Jedlicka, an independent software developer. The first license was sold in 1999, and thousands of licenses are in use in more than 130 countries today. The program is updated regularly, and support questions don’t go to a ticket queue — they are answered by the person who wrote the code.
