Zuken offers enhanced support for manufacturing and greater ease-of-use

E3.series 2014 available now

Zuken has announced new features for manufacturing and design productivity in the latest version of E3.series, its industry-leading electrical and fluid CAD software. E3.series 2014 contains new functionality for panel manufacturing; file preview in Windows Explorer and Outlook®; support for Lattice 3D Viewer; and many new ease-of-use features.

The version also includes the new E3.eCheck electrical analysis product that identifies errors early in the development stage to avoid costly iterations.

Steve Chidester, Head of International Marketing at Zuken, explained that the main reason people adopt electrical engineering solutions is to improve their personal productivity and the quality of their designs. E3.series 2014 is the result of listening to and working with our customers to focus on these issues.

Enhanced 3D panel functionality

E3.panel includes the ability to place 3D components in free space without a predetermined mounting fixture. E3.panel+ has a number of enhancements to its DXF support. Layer-based output for milling and drilling machines allows drill holes and cut outs, for example, to be defined in the library. Manufacturing data is then automatically generated, avoiding time-consuming manual data creation and the potential to introduce errors. The import function allows DXF data to be read directly in E3.schematic for viewing.

E3.schematic includes a number of new ease-of-use features including:

• Highlighting objects in folders from the device tree, and more information in the device tree, such as supplier name, current rating, or any user-defined attribute
• User-defined icons to represent unique parts, for example engine parts can have an engine icon
• Better handling of grouped parts for improved design reuse.

Preview in Windows Explorer and Outlook

New preview functionality allows designers to share files with collaborators who do not have E3.series. The preview plug-in for Windows Explorer and Outlook makes it possible to view sheets, zoom in and change pages. This assists in making design decisions and keeping the design flow moving, as well as improving communication along the design chain.
