Pepsi, Coke, BMW, VAG Group, to name a few blue chip companies. ePlan is Growing rapidly, I'm an Auto-CAD convert to ePlan
We (GM) started using it back in 2004?, I can't remember. It was buggy, difficult to use, and no better than AutoCad for what it did.
It also had the unintended effect in making sure that nearly none of our prints ever got updated. Nobody wanted to fool with it, and the only subject-matter experts were off working on their next project.
I'm now in the market for an AutoCad jockey with controls drawings experience. PM me if you know someone.
And our integrators and our (plant, at least) engineers generally did not like it, and not many of us could figure out the reason for the change.
That was then, this is now. I'm sure that things have improved.
As for AutoCad, that is another package that I love to hate. But in this case it isn't really AutoCad's fault. For some unknown reason, we can't seem to pick a version and then stick to it. And AutoCad (naturally) keeps making changes from version to version that requires yet another week long training session (for me at least) to get up to speed.
Keep in mind that as electrical guys, our needs are limited pretty much to 2D, not-to-scale drawings. Why do we need all this fancy stuff?
And as the end user, I don't care about keeping the entire drawing in a database as opposed to individual drawings. I manage to keep the drawings all together by putting each project into its own directory.
I have a flair for the obvious in that respect.
So as an end user, what does EPlan, or for that matter, the latest version of AutoCad give me that I can't get from QCad? Remember, I just have to do little changes here and there as needed when the equipment gets upgraded.
