XML Control Circuit 2020
August 2020
XML Control Circuit is a simple 2D CAD schematic creation tool geared to developing electrical control circuit wiring diagrams with only the essential drafting and data tools required to get the job done. No bells and whistles, just a simple interface that produces compelling graphics and diagrams with much flexibility, yet with commercial strength features such as SQL Server component database back-end for Bill of Materials, plus automatic wiring, contact cross-referencing, wire numbering and other such features.
Note! Circuit is in BETA right now, will be for any personal or commercial use, does not have any practical limits, nags or restrictions!

Simplicity...
Circuit is a simple tool to get the job done, which is to convey your electrical circuit design to your wire-guys and panel builders, and they just need to know what joins to what, and the components required, that's it. Circuit is a very simple tool that you can use to produce the electrical and control system schematics, and Bill of Materials to achieve your goal. Circuit is also a great documentation tool, and can be used to create print-outs for your grand-kids to wonder at what your passion was!!
Some features...
Circuit stores all files in open XML Format, and uses Windows fonts and graphics methods to support mixed wiring and image presentations for the greatest effect and purpose of getting your design intentions across...
You can create regular circuit wiring diagrams...
Import Bill of Materials from CSV files right into your project, replacing entire BoM, or just the components for selected devices, as you choose.
With this feature you can readily change an entire BoM by simply uploading a replacement CSV file...
And then output Bill of Materials to CSV, TXT and/or XML, as well as produce printed Component Lists and BoMs within your circuit schematic...
