Drawing circuit diagrams - only a few years ago, this was still a strenuous task using a sharp pencil and templates. But Festo is able to provide computer-aided support. The software FluidDRAW® operates using an integrated library; the stored symbols are produced to DIN standard. If required, FluidDRAW® can work with the Festo digital product catalogue. Here important parameters such as the part number, type designation etc. can be directly included and immediately assigned to a parts list. Functions For drives, valves, valve terminals, air preparation, vacuum technology, flow/shut-off valves etc.: simply position the required symbols in the circuit through drag & drop or the search function. Processing Continuous rotation and scaling Intelligent grid with automatic overlaying of auxiliary lines for aligning symbols Improved automatic cable routing Manual setting of interpolation points for connecting lines possible New function to make drawing working lines easier Multiple window views of a drawing page can be displayed and edited at the same time Navigation window with selection of the page detail Extended drawing functions Basic graphic elements: lines with different arrowheads, rectangle, circle, ellipsis, text, graphic Simultaneous editing of the geometric properties of highlighted objects Extended undo/redo function Free input and positioning of connection designations Parts lists New parts list representation Extended functions for selecting the listed project files Printing of long lists over multiple pages Direct editing of attributes in the parts list Search function for components associated with the respective list entry Interface to the Festo online shopping basket Projects Clearer representation of the project files Improved administration of the project attributes Copying of the globally defined drawing frame to new pages General remarks Greater drawing precision, greater zoom scale as a result(max. 10,000%) New file format in XML syntax Extended administration functions for user-specific symbol libraries More efficient storage of libraries (better performance in the network) Consistent separation of program and user files (fewer problems with permissions in the network) Explicit specification of folder paths (no hidden INI entries required) Better utilisation of multi-processor systems through the use of background processes All attribute values can be displayed at any position as text references Support for up to 255 drawing levels No internal restriction on the number of objects (support for more extensive circuits/larger projects) Direct access to the databases of the Festo catalogue (avoids interfacing problems with xDKI) More precise definition of the page boundaries when printing Links More on FluidDraw more about FluidDraw
