    An absolute gem for electrical design! 10/10

    Date: Sep 12 2026
    Summary

    It can be a bit tricky at first since the drawing measurements are in pixels. However, once you get past that initial learning curve, building circuits and creating custom components becomes incredibly simple.The absolute best feature is the cross-referencing system for contacts and their corresponding coils. Additionally, the nomenclature/tagging table is a massive time-saver. This is a solid 10 out of 10. Huge congratulations to the entire development team behind this project! Greetings from Mexico.

    Positive

    Excellent cross-referencing system (contacts/coils), easy component creation, and bills of materials that save hours of work.

    Negative

    The initial learning curve, as drawing measurements are based on pixels.

    QElectroTech review

    Date: Feb 06 2026
    Summary

    Note: I've come from a patchy history of CAD, using various programs over the years, but now I'm just wanting to do occasional drawings.
    QET - I couldn't do what should be a simple thing, creating a custom title block. Nothing I did could get my logo to insert, following QET's online instructions precisely was a waste of time. What they describe and what was happening on my screen were two different things. Maybe a version change so I messed with it for a while but 2 hours later still couldn't do this (usually) simplest of tasks. The overall title block editor was excruciating to use. No title block, no drawing so I have no idea how the rest of the program performs, just that I want nothing more to do with it.

    Positive

    Nothing. I liked nothing about this, but I never got past trying to create a title block, so for me there is NOTHING to like.

    Negative

    The dev's use of unusual methods to do simple tasks
