![]() ![]() ![]() I thought Promise-E has been defunct for like 20 years since Autodesk bought it and repackaged it as AutoCAD Electrical.īut whatever the case, yeah, it sucks. It's still horrible and frustrating to use. If you are able to understand how it works and what not to do, you can do some neat things. Even so, my workflow is usually: open program flail at keyboard and mouse open course book and flip through chapters flail at keyboard and mouse web search read through dozens of unsolved posts on forums with my exact problem and give up do something else for an hour or two repeat. I've done the basics course for ACADE so I can at least blunder my way through it. If you have dozens or hundreds of pages to maintain, you really need to pony up the cash and get a professional package (Eplan, ACADE, SolidWorks Electrical, etc.) and training to use it. If you just need to crank out a small diagram and you can juggle all the wire numbers and cross references in your head, Visio isn't too bad. Anything that has a long history/pedigree will be clumsy and hard to use until you get over the very long/shallow learning curve. Anything powerful will be very expensive. Anything free will be useless or terribly inefficient on large projects. It seems to me that it's a 'lesser of evils' choice. ![]()
