Review of ePlan
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use ePlan to draw and engineer all of our electrical drawings. We use ePlan to make the electrical scheme and the 3D panels. ePlan generates a materiallist, wich is imported in to the ERP System. About 70 % of the drawings are genereted with the use of cogineer and a custom build tool.
Pros

- Great export possibility's
Cons
- License structure is not easy
