Installation

CamBam is a .NET application so will require at least .NET Framework 2 for it to work.

The latest .NET framework can be downloaded here.

If you have problems with the MSI installer, download and unzip this setup program into the same folder as the MSI file and run setup.exe.
If problems persist, try downloading the binary only release.

Run the installer program and follow any on screen instructions.

Once installed I recomend you take a moment to look at Getting Started.

Latest Stable Version (29 August 2007)

CamBam Beta 0.8 Release 2 MSI Installer (674KB) build 2797.19897

I--- Qelectrotech Siemens Library - Instant

The collection spans multiple generations of industrial hardware, ensuring support for legacy upgrades and modern infrastructure. Components are structurally split by hardware type to ensure clean schematic navigation.

The benefits of using the IEC 61804 library include:

If a specific Siemens part is missing, you have several options for adding it: Online manual for QElectroTech 0.4

QElectroTech offers a free, open-source library with extensive Siemens components for industrial automation, though users report issues with inconsistent symbol sizing and metadata duplication. While the software enables professional documentation, managing its large, community-driven collection often requires manual organization and custom element creation.

QElectroTech is an open-source CAD/CAE application licensed under the GNU/GPL. It is primarily designed to create industrial electrical diagrams, but it also natively supports fluid power (hydraulics and pneumatics), P&ID drafting, and basic home automation schematics.

QElectroTech segments its data structures into three localized layers: Share the elements library (Page 1) - QElectroTech

The QElectroTech Siemens library is a specialized collection of .elmt (element) files mapping out common Siemens industrial components. Instead of drafting generic boxes with arbitrary terminal connections, engineers use these pre-built components to construct authentic representations of hardware. Key Components Included: | Use File > Replace element to remap

Users generally view the Siemens collection as a vital part of the software's 8,000+ symbol library, though it requires some manual management due to its open-source nature.

To expand your QElectroTech library with Siemens-specific parts, follow these steps:

The I Qelectrotech Siemens Library offers several key features that make it an indispensable resource for electrical engineers:

Currently, the most requested sub-library is the line. Here is how to install a high-quality community library.

: Ensuring everyone on a project uses the same library symbols leads to consistent, professional-grade output. 3. Professional Documentation at Zero Cost

QElectroTech makes adding new elements relatively straightforward. Here is how you can get the Siemens collection running in your project:
