Here are the latest functionalities and improvements in WSCAD ELECTRIX AI.
Customers with an ELECTRIX subscription licence or a maintenance contract can install the update free of charge via the pop-up window after starting the software, or via the ELECTRIX main menu Help | Internet Update.
If you are still using WSCAD SUITE, we strongly recommend switching to ELECTRIX.
Since 2024, WSCAD has been the first provider in the industry to bring an AI-powered electrical CAD solution to market with ELECTRIX AI. This pioneering technology automates routine tasks, optimises design processes, and significantly reduces engineering time.
With ELECTRIX AI 2026, a new era in electrical engineering begins. The combination of powerful AI features, extended standards support, and intelligent workflow optimisations delivers substantially higher efficiency, fewer errors, and noticeably accelerated development processes.
The latest version brings together proven engineering performance with intelligent AI functionality and a significantly enhanced user experience. Designed for engineers who want to work faster, more reliably, and with consistent documentation throughout, ELECTRIX AI 2026 introduces numerous innovations across usability, engineering, and documentation.

With ELECTRIX AI 2026, you can now integrate individual guidelines and requirements: legal regulations, customer specifications, project specifications, or internal standards can be stored as text files – either across multiple projects or per project. This creates a central knowledge base that can be accessed at any time via the AI Copilot. Time-consuming searches through extensive documents are no longer necessary: the required information can be queried directly and precisely via AI Copilot, for example: “Who is the key user of the project?” or “Which terminal manufacturer is specified?”. This saves valuable time, ensures clearly structured and compliant documentation, and efficiently supports teams throughout the entire engineering process.
Your benefits:
With ELECTRIX AI 2026, individual or multiple parts from the wscaduniverse.com parts database can be downloaded directly into your local database via AI Copilot. The parts can then be placed immediately in your schematic. Especially during early project phases, such as creating control cabinet or field component lists, this fast import of part and symbol data saves significant time.
Your benefits:
Grouped elements can now be rotated precisely by any desired angle. This allows flexible spatial adjustment of complex assemblies – for example, device carriers, symbol fields, or mechanically oriented drawing components. The freely adjustable rotation saves time and prevents inaccurate manual alignment attempts.
Your benefits:
Elements can now be duplicated and mirrored in a single step.
This feature is particularly useful for symmetrical systems, parallel functional circuits, or redundant machine modules. Automatic mirroring prevents swapped connections or alignment errors that often occur during manual processing.
Your benefits:
The temporary measuring tape is a lightweight, integrated measurement tool that can be displayed instantly when needed.
It allows rapid distance checks between components, or verifying dimensions. Particularly useful in control cabinet or machine layouts.
Your benefits:
The new jump function links the schematic with the Material Explorer.
Clicking on a component in the schematic automatically opens the corresponding record in the Material Explorer. This makes it easier to check technical parameters, part details, and variants. In large projects with many components, this greatly improves orientation.
Your benefits:
With ELECTRIX AI 2026, multiple path macros can be placed automatically and rule-based in the schematic using AI support. The software identifies suitable free areas in the schematic and independently selects appropriate insertion points, resulting in a clean, evenly structured layout.
This feature is particularly useful for standardised functional chains or macro-based engineering, as it fully automates repetitive tasks.
Your benefits:
The new AI translation feature in ELECTRIX AI 2026 can translate entire schematic contents, project titles, functional descriptions, and comments into any desired language.
Unlike general translation tools such as Microsoft Office, ELECTRIX AI 2026 understands electrical engineering terminology and typical technical terms. This ensures high-quality translations that are suitable for international use – ideal for globally operating engineering and production sites.
Your benefits:
ELECTRIX AI 2026 now supports line patterns according to ANSI/ISA 5.1.
This standard defines different line types for process and instrumentation diagrams. Standard-compliant representation improves clarity and ensures that schematics are interpreted consistently, regardless of the viewer.
Your benefits:
A built-in measuring tape is now available in the control cabinet design area.
It allows precise distance and length measurements directly within the cabinet layout – a valuable aid for positioning components, routing wires, or arranging mounting plates.
Your benefits:
With the latest version of ELECTRIX AI, complete 2D control cabinet layouts can be automatically generated based on existing circuit diagrams. The AI is specifically trained to recognise patterns and similarities in existing projects and efficiently transfer this knowledge to new project variants. After selecting the relevant schematic pages, the software automatically identifies the required parts and places them – including mounting rails and components – in a structured layout on the mounting plate within moments.
This functionality is currently available as a beta feature. Therefore, the automatically generated results should be reviewed and, if necessary, fine-tuned before final approval. Even at this stage, the AI already provides significant support in accelerating the creation of standardised project variants. By focusing on similarity recognition for standard products, it is particularly well suited to efficiently automating repetitive routine tasks in variant design.
Your benefits:
The wire designation has been completely redesigned. Newly added placeholders and filters provide greater flexibility in configuring and displaying wire labels. Even the most specific customer requirements can now be reflected automatically.
This not only improves readability within circuit diagrams, but also simplifies workflows in control cabinet assembly, commissioning, and maintenance.
