Wasting time researching parts details
When you start designing a project, do you have to look far and wide for product details? Online searches, paper catalogues, details from previous projects? How much time does the searching take in comparison to the actual designing?
What about pricing and availability? How often have you included certain parts in a design only to find they are out of stock or so expensive that they will take you way over your budget? The time taken to remove them find alternatives and then reconfigure your design will be having a horrendous impact on your productivity.
Does your design solution offer you a symbols library? If so, will it let you draw your own custom ones to add to the collection? If you draw a schematic symbol will you have to draw it again next time you want to use it?
What if your design solution came equipped with:
- A symbols library (plus the ability to easily create your own)
- An integral library of over ¼ of a million actual manufacturers parts (including the details to help you select correctly) plus many millions more online
- The ability to create and manage your own sub-library of frequently used parts
- The ability to display live price and availability of parts BEFORE you decide whether to include them in your design
Would that help you? Would you be able to work more quickly than you do now? How big an impact would it have? Find out by trying it. All of the above features are included in DesignSpark Electrical, the free but powerful Electrical CAD software from RS Components.
