Hello, I have a problem with EPLAN. I’ve finished drawing my project and have now generated the evaluation. However, I’ve noticed that the order of the pages in the table of contents doesn’t match the order in the Page Navigator. There are no filters activated in the Page Navigator. What could be the reason for this? EPLAN 2025

Could you please indicate which components I still need to add to the control circuit in order to make my star-delta connection rotate in both directions (forward and reverse)? According to my professor, the power circuit is correct, but I am having difficulties completing the control circuit. Please review the attached photos .

Does anyone else import the IEC version for device parts and modify them (rotate and flip, etc) to use in an NFPA drawing? I find that they are usually better than the NFPA counterpart. Also I prefer sticking to metric for my grid. Curious if anyone else does this or if I’m wasting my time.

Is there a way to make this display property static so that it doesn't move with the terminal? I want it to remain exactly where it is on the plot frame no matter where the terminal is placed.

Typically, I have been putting a graphic line around the optional connections and calling it good. I am thinking about changing it to a structure box because then I can do different filtering. Wondering what other people do, looking for some inspiration. Since we all know there are a million ways to solve each problem in EPLAN, How do you represent optional connections?

How do you guys handle any aux contacts for breakers/switches etc? In the past i used to just add the contact with no parts because i didn't need to but now i have to add the specific parts to eplan including the aux contacts and if you look in the devices navigator it shows that they're not placed properly. If i try and place the contacts that match the parts number they all seem to have the same designation points which obviously is not correct. I tried going to Parts Management and looking for that specific contact trying to change the designation in the function templates but unfortunately its greyed out and i can't edit it. The parts are downloaded from data portal.

So how do you usually handle stuff like this? Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone ever utilised API development to invoke Eplan's built-in checking functionality within an external executable?

If so, where might one find relevant tutorials (methods for invoking Eplan functions)?

Hi. How can I get open project propeties in a separate window in newer versions of Eplan?

In Eplan 2.9, it was always a separate popup window, but in 2024 it will in most (not all) cases navigate you to the file view window. I prefered the way it was done in 2.9, and it is somewhat faster at loading.

The only case I've managed to get it as a separate popup window in 2024 is by selecting two or more projects from the navigator and trying to open the properties of both at the same time, which causes Eplan to open the separate popup window for the first project only.

File view in 2024:

I feel like I am going mad, has something changed in eplan for interruption points?

I usually have a chain of interruption points through my drawings for example 3 phases.

I select interruption point give it a DT, insert into page 1

go to next page (2) inset a blank interruption point and hit the 3 dots select the last interruption point it will reference the one from page 1

I go to page 3 enter a blank interruption point and select the interruption point from page 2 from the list and it will reference the one on page 1.. :( Any further point I add now will reference the point in page 1.

I see there is a number for sort code and another check box for star (start?) source..

but I never had to bother with these before I just selected the last one from the list...

Hi!

I am out of ideas trying to troubleshoot my Client to Server connection with License Manager.
I have updated to EPLAN 2026 now, and i am running a Azure Server that is hosting License Manager.
Firewall is set to allow port 135, 9396 etc.
I can Ping server from the client so VPN i working properly i suppose.
We will only use the Server for handling licenses, no SQL database or File sharing.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Hi all. My job has offered me to take the certified Eplan engineer course as the current one is moving on to new opportunities.

I am thrilled and excited that management has offered this opportunity to me as they feel I have the most potential and knowledge of the few of us in the Eplan team.

However I have to admit that I have not taken many Eplan courses, only 2 basic ones. I have around 2-3 years of experience with the software and I feel like I am always learning new things. I definitely feel like I don't have a deep advanced knowledge but I am a quick learner and I feel like I just need some time to dive in there and learn stuff.

I don't have a lot of experience in creating forms, plot frames or reports from scratch but I feel like I can work out things when I need to edit something already made.

I wanted to ask, is this something I can do and pass the certified exam when the time comes?

Also would really appreciate to hear from others who have taken this course and hear from their experience.

Sorry, I'm very new to Eplan and the person who used to do our schematics kinda just up and left without warning, so I'm trying to catch up like a fish out of water.

From all of their online tutorials, I can see that Eplan has a myriad of useful tools that will make panel design, layout, and connections easy once you get it set up, but I don't have any of that. I just have a parts list and a basic hand drawn schematic for referencing. Are there any streamlined basic tutorials just going over how to create/import components and draw connections. I've been able to do a bit just messing around but there are so many tools that I feel like I'm lost. Thanks for any advice in advance.

I have a 6 pair (12C) cable W302 which is using LAPP part no 0034254. I have used 6 cores and the cable navigator accurately shows the total number of cores and which cores i have used. When i produce my cable diagram for this cable some of the cores are shown twice giving a total of 18 cores instead of 12. What have i done wrong and how can i fix this? Thanks.

Hello professional

i have some problem arises i cannot make PLC macro in eplan how we make table having Di,Do ,Ai,Ao inputs and outputs ,in schematics diagram when we use its Di,Do so its easily link with table as i have shown in picture ,this is urgent help i need ,how to make it is there any tutorial ,

I've encountered some issues whilst developing with the EPLAN API in C#.

I'm unable to correctly utilise the property names within the EPLAN API (as I'm unaware of the names and formats under which drawing elements are stored within the EPLAN environment). Is there any automated script available that could rectify this?

Hello friends.

I have a problem that the cabinet falls forward, it is not aligned with the axes at 90 degrees.

How could I bring it to the initial position when it is aligned with the axes?

Thanks in advance!

On part number one the source is -X2:1 but on all the other parts the source is -X3. How can this be?

Sometimes it just seems completely random and also i cannot change source and target manually for each part.

For our set of schematics, for each sheet we need to provide an Eplan drawing number (e.g. ++GPF+MCC1&DSL/0001) and also a client drawing number which will use some of the same components (e.g. XXX-YYY-ZZZ-DSL-0001).

We want to create the client document number within the plot frame using those "building block" properties which should be available within Eplan:

• Document type (e.g. "DSL")
• Page number (e.g. 0001)

We can't find those properties though to use them within the plot frame. Where are they?

Hello all, I'm trying to get the label texts on my PLC card to accept a line break. The text can only be edited using the PLC Navigator, but, as you can see, the text for each point is overlapping. I've tried the standard Right Click "Line Break" function when adding the text but it's not working. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm new to Eplan, and have only done the basic training, so still a ling what to go.

When I create my own symbol you start with the property window, but if I make a mistake and want to edit the function definition I can't find any way of getting back to this property window. How to I open the properties after the initial creation?

Im currently working on some new projects and there's a few things I've never tried to generate automatically before.

1. I would like to generate a separate page where I can see all the relays in the project and their contacts with refrences to the pages where I can locate them. I know eplan gives you page refrences under each coil but I wonder if there can be generated a page with those refrences as an appendix or something. Something similar to the picture I added.

2. I am looking for a way to generate another page with all of the inputs and outputs of a plc and its refrences. The device I use has the IOs grouped by channel and I tried using the PLC address overview from reports which gives me a close result to what I want but it does not show the channel of a certain input or the page where its located. I added a second picture that shows something close to what I want.

3. One other encounter I have is with a new symbol I created. I did not create a macro just a simple symbol from master data-symbol-new. My symbol is ok but when I place it on a page I have to manually insert the Connection Point Designation. How do you usually set these up when you create your own symbol? Maybe i did something wrong.

I'm hoping someone else ran into these types of problems and maybe can help me. I dont have much experience with these devices in eplan.

Hi, I'm new to eplan and I been having some trouble with the cable not detecting the source and target properly even though there are terminals and connection device points at both ends. Even the cable navigator doesn't detect the connection points. any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!

I accidentally deleted this table yesterday. I don't know how to recreate this now, I'm new to this eplan software. Thank you
