100% Windows application

As a real, 32-bit, Windows application, SEE Electrical seamlessly fits into your existing Windows environment. This familiarity means that it is very quick and easy to learn.

Three levels for greater flexibility

SEE Electrical can be purchased in three levels - Basic, Standard and Advanced. Each offers a range of features at a different price point, so you can select the level that suits your needs and budget. If desired, you can always upgrade from one level to another, as project data is interchangable between levels.

Plug & Play Installation

Simply place the CD-ROM in the drive, and follow the step by step instructions to install the software. Once your license has been activated, you are ready to begin your first project. The software automatically uses all available computer equipment, such as printers and graphics cards, without the need for further configuration.

Complete project documentation

With SEE Electrical you can open as many windows as you wish, as you are able to work across several projects simultaneously. Thanks to the integrated Microsoft ActiveX® interface you can also integrate documents from other Windows applications (such as Word and Excel) directly into your project structure.

Expandable with additional modules

Two add-on modules complete the SEE Electrical portfolio: SEE Electrical Cabinet is the professional choice for cabinet layout design SEE Electrical House Installation is the drawing module for those involved in building installations. Both are directly integrated with SEE Electrical.
