We use Pro/Diagram now to make our wiring diagrams. Our products have pretty simple electrical circuits that range from two or three components up to about30 components. We don't design electronics, but would include an electronic controller as a component in our products. Now that Pro/Diagram is being replaced by RSD, I would like to know what others use for their diagrams.
We take advantage of the wire and component parameters in Pro/Diagram to make wire lists with terminal information on them. I am hesistent to switch to doing diagrams only with Pro/Detail since we would not be able to make the automatic wire tables and I think it would be combersome to draw a diagram in Detail.
I looked at RSD and it seems to have more capabilities than Diagram and probably is more complicated to learn. Our engineers do diagrams as a small portion of a project. They are not dedicated to electrical design. I think learing and using RSD will be more difficult than Diagram. I even hear a lot of complaints about how complicated Diagram is to use although I think that is overcome with a little experience.
Can you let me know what alternatives to Diagram and RSD you use for creating wiring diagrams. I am open tosolutions that run inside of Pro/E or separate software. It would be nice if the software would integrate well with Intralink which we also use.
