The importance of the FTZ symbol library

In the world of electrical engineering, every minute counts. Designing and planning electrical networks requires precision and efficiency, and repetitive tasks can quickly slow down a project. That’s why FTZ offers a comprehensive, customisable symbol library integrated into its CAD software such as SchemELECT and SchemBAT. This feature saves considerable time by giving users instant access to standardised symbols, without having to recreate everything manually.
Why is a library of symbols essential?
Symbols are at the heart of electrical design Every wiring or installation project relies on standardised visual representations, whether for components, networks or safety systems. Recreating these symbols would be a time-consuming and error-prone task. The FTZ library responds to this need by offering a varied and regularly updated catalogue, ensuring that users have access to the right symbols for each project.
Optimising productivity and reducing errors
Thanks to this library, users can concentrate on the critical aspects of their project without wasting time on repetitive tasks. By choosing symbols directly from the catalogue, they reduce the risk of errors and confusion between team members or external partners. Standardising elements also facilitates collaboration, as everyone involved works with the same visual references, which improves the consistency and quality of deliverables.
Customise your symbols to suit your needs
One of the major advantages of this library is its easy customisation. If a specific symbol is required, or if project needs change, SchemELECT and SchemBAT allow users to quickly create and customise their own symbols. This flexibility ensures that each project respects company and industry requirements, while adapting to local standards.
Complementarity between libraries
SchemBAT and SchemELECT are based on these graphic symbol libraries, but also on other libraries such as component libraries (hardware references) or volume libraries (physical components in 2D or 3D). These different libraries are used in combination during the project to create bills of materials and cabinet layouts.
An asset for large-scale projects
In complex projects, such as the electrical networks of large buildings or sensitive infrastructures, rapid access to symbols is a real advantage. FTZ’s library ensures fast, fluid navigation through the necessary components, enabling technical challenges to be met efficiently and the project to be kept on schedule. Our customers, such as Bet Volta SSI, stress the importance of this tool for meeting tight deadlines without compromising quality.
Conclusion: A library that adapts to your projects
The FTZ symbol library is much more than just a catalogue: it is a strategic lever for optimising productivity and ensuring the quality of electrical engineering projects. By integrating ready-to-use, standardised and adaptable components, FTZ offers professionals precious time savings and great flexibility.
