ProfiCAD offers you an easy way to design electrical diagrams, electronic circuits, and also hydraulics and pneumatic systems. The program is especially useful both for engineers and for students that want to improve their electronics knowledge level. ProfiCAD comes with a large library of predefined objects and allows you to customize your project in many ways.
As a former electronics student, I was really impressed by the tools ProfiCAD had to offer. Its comprehensive gallery of objects includes graphical representations for electronic symbols, and also for pneumatic diagrams, trunking systems, hydraulics, and many others.
By using this application, you can design various systems and customize them in many ways. For example, while testing the program, I easily managed to build a security alarm system in which I included components like automatic locks, motion detectors, alarms, and even a central monitoring station.
In my opinion, even though this program is quite expensive, it proves to be a reliable tool for anyone who designs electronic circuits.

Rotating and flipping images
The program supports the following ways to rotate images:
- Using the menu Object - Rotate
- In panel Properties - item angle (enter tenths of degrees, e.g. 30° enter as 300)
- By dragging the round handle of the image. The angle is adjusted in steps of 15°. If the Shift key is being pressed, any angle can be adjusted.
Flipping images
- Use menu commands Object - Flip. You can also use icons on the toolbar.
Line ends
- Lines can end in one of the three configurations:
- Line ends can be specified in panel Properties.
