Thank you for your article, “Electrical Schematic Software Automates Wiring, Panel Design” ( CE , Aug. ’99, p. 47). We use Toolbox/WD by Cimlogic and are quite happy with it, after evaluating two other packages.

Our company is currently making an intense cross-discipline effort to improve our documentation standards; tools aimed at underqualified draftsmen seem to run counter to the idea that “designers” without CAD experience should have easy-to-use electrical design tools. I’d certainly be curious about other user opinions.
