He was using a standard CAD package, manually numbering wires and hand-drawing every single relay. One mistake in the cross-referencing meant a blown circuit in the real world.
He didn’t just need a software update; he needed a specialist. That afternoon, he finally pulled the trigger on the AutoCAD Electrical 2024 The Transformation He started a new schematic
