GstarCAD · Australia & New Zealand
FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS, CONTRACTORS & SWITCHBOARD TEAMS
CAD Software for Electrical Engineers
GstarCAD provides DWG-compatible CAD software for electrical engineers in Australia, supporting the preparation and revision of electrical layouts, schematics, single-line diagrams and switchboard drawings. Electrical contractors, consultants and drafting teams can use familiar 2D drafting tools to organise circuit annotations, equipment layouts and project documentation. Work with existing DWG drawings, coordinate design revisions and prepare technical drawings using your established drafting standards. Download the free 30-day trial to evaluate GstarCAD with your electrical engineering projects.

CAD Software for Electrical Engineers: Drawing Tools and Applications
Lighting and power layouts
Draft device locations, circuit references and installation notes over project floor plans using your own drawing conventions.
Schematics and single-line drawings
Draw electrical connections and single-line diagrams using drafting tools and your own verified symbols. Keep circuit labels and drawing notes clear.
Switchboard and panel layouts
Prepare 2D arrangement drawings showing equipment positions, dimensions and installation details for review.
Keep project changes clear
Consultant coordination
Work through drawing updates alongside architectural and services information. Check referenced drawings and revisions before issue.
Site revisions
Incorporate checked site information into layouts and details, keeping changes within your project review process.
As-constructed documentation
Update drawings from verified installation records to support project handover and future reference.
Supporting electrical businesses
Electrical companies already use GstarCAD through GstarCAD Australia. Our published customer list includes John Milner Electrical, Allro Switchboards and Stiles Electrical.
Need dedicated electrical drafting tools?
Explore CADprofi Electrical as a separate add-on for a compatible GstarCAD installation. It provides electrical symbol libraries and specialist drafting tools for installation drawings and schematics.
Check the supported GstarCAD version, edition, operating system and licence requirements before ordering. CADprofi Electrical is not included with the base GstarCAD licence.
Test it with a real electrical drawing
1. Open a project DWG
Choose a representative electrical plan or schematic, including the blocks, text and drawing references you normally use.
2. Make a typical revision
Update a device layout or circuit annotation. Check your symbols, dimensions and drawing conventions.
3. Review the output
Compare printed sheets and exchanged DWG files with your project requirements before adopting the workflow.
Compare licence options for your team
Review current licence options and indicative costs. Include any specialist add-ons, optional upgrades and training when planning your CAD budget.
Common questions
Can I use my existing electrical DWG drawings?
GstarCAD supports DWG files. Test your own drawings, blocks, fonts and referenced content during the trial to check how they work in your chosen edition and operating system.
Are electrical symbol libraries included?
This page describes general CAD drafting with your own drawing content. Specialist electrical libraries and automated tools depend on the add-on you select; review CADprofi Electrical separately.
Does GstarCAD calculate or certify an electrical design?
The workflows described here are for drawing and documentation. They do not establish cable-sizing, protection-coordination, load-calculation or compliance-checking capabilities. Assess any required engineering tools separately.
Can I prepare as-constructed drawings?
You can edit drawing documentation using verified installation information. Review the drawings through your normal project approval process before issue.
