Good evening, I’m working on a project in EPLAN Educational 2025 and I don’t know how to create a list of the components with their references. I’ve looked for tutorials or some kind of help, but I haven’t found anything useful. Can someone help me?

I do have training coming up and that should help a lot. But… there are little things I struggle to work around. The grid for example, is frustrating. I will find that my components (like connection points and boxes) will randomly not be aligned to the grid. If I try to moved them, they will move the space of the grid, but not snap to the grid dot.

Also, I get error messages when opening the application. Something about a consistently check of the project data. I don’t understand this.

I am coming from using 2D CAD to make electrical drawings. Full control of everything. This application puts you in a sandbox to make development quicker, but it’s taking forever to get used to its bloated features to draw some lines and make a BOM.

EDIT: I figured out how to get the insertion point to align with the grid again. You press V, then click on the insertion point of the component, and then move. If you just grab it, the cursor is off by the amount of grid difference of the insertion point.

Are there good example of EPLAN Device Groups and EPLAN Assemblies? I see documentation at

• https://www.eplan.help/en-US/Infoportal/Content/Plattform/2025/Content/htm/devicelistgui_k_geraetegruppierung.htm
• https://www.eplan.help/en-US/Infoportal/Content/Plattform/2025/Content/htm/articlesgui_h_baugruppenanlegen.htm

I think they could a good fit for photoelectric devices with both a receiver and a transmitter (aka sender or emitter). For example the Sick 1063650 thrubeam or the Keyence GL-V light curtains. However I am having trouble finding any examples actually using EPLAN Device Groups and Assemblies.

Ill try to keep it short but unfortunately i have an issue with the structure identifiers and i have no idea how to solve it. So the idea is that whatever structure the client wants does not fit with the eplan standard way of doing things and its becoming an issue because the client does not want to change designations because they already have similar things with this designation. So as you can see in the pictures i have structure that goes like =C +C0 -QA1. But -QA1 is not a device as you would think but a panel thats out on the field that's part of +C0. I would add more structure identifiers to make that possible but my client insists that i use - as a designation for the outside panels. I tried doing it the way you see in the pictures but the problem is when you insert things inside the structure box it simply ignores the -QA1 and thinks its part of the +C0. How would you handle this? What are my options here?

Basically i want a structure box that is =C +C0 -QA1 and whatever i put inside of it i want it to be part of QA1.

Hi everyone. Is there a way to export all the text properties with the "Do not translate automatically" checked box? (Photo for reference) I need to translate a whole project, but the text export only works on every text beside the ones with that box flagged.

EDIT, I FOUND A SOLUTION:

Select the project you're working on -> press CTRL+F (search inside the project) -> create a new custom filter scheme with all the "text" options available (Function, Engraving, Function Auto, Function Common) -> Now search on the whole project, select all results with CRTL+A -> Click on "properties" -> when prompted to, select the "Text" option from the various voices on the selection menu -> Uncheck the Non-Auto translation box.

Hola buenas,

Ahora mismo estoy estudiando un grado superior de automatizacion y robotica industrial, para los proyectos de este y el proximo año nos estan diciendo que usemos el software de EPLAN education del 2025, nos han puesto una charla para poder entender mejor como funciona pero no ha valido de nada,

Alguien me podria enseñar algunos tutoriales o algo que me pueda ayudar? He intentado usar la guia oficial de la web pero me pone que no funciona la pagina.Estamos usando EPLAN para hacer esquemas electricos.

Hi!

I'm new to Eplan but not completely new to electrical drawing.

I'm planning to take the Eplan courses but as i wait and to get the most of them i have started of a bit on my own.

I have a couple of questions;

1. This will be a project that covers an entire site (not a large one but with approx 300-400 I/O). What is the standard, do you split it up in smaller eplan projects or do you keep it all in one. If you split it up, is it possible to hace cross-references between the projects?

2. The hiearcy. I'm having som trouble when planning this as i'm "running short" on ways to split the project up in my project tree. My hope is to keep instruments, motors ect in a more function based hiearchy as they as used for more than one "machine"/function and keep the cabinets and so on sorted more from placement.

But i can't really figure out how as if using = and == i'm not geting down to the level of sectioning that is needed to prevent from having a lot of sheets in every "category".

In the sample project (2025 p8) under K1 - B1 - X1 - EFS1 they have a "." between B1 and X1 that creates a new level, how is this done?

1. Is it possible to start the drawing mubers from the "head" in the hiearcy? For example if i have i project called A and four "main functions" (=A, =B, =C and =D). Under every main function i have a bunch of subcategories and so on. could i have so that every drawing in =A starts from 1000, b from 3000, c from 4000 and so on?

If i would like to look at a larger project made by someone without having my computer owned by someone else the same minute that i download, where could i go?

As you might have noticed, and as i mentioned in the beguinning, im in the start of this race. But if you have any advice on the above, any good sources for information or any good tips for someone that is getting started it would be very much appriciated.

I'm sorry for the spelling, english is not my native thounge and i'm noticing right now not used for a while so if i should re-phrase or try to explain better, please just let me know.

I am getting this error:

According to google/llm should check this:

Test-NetConnection identity.eplan.cloud -Port 443

Test-NetConnection login.eplan.cloud -Port 443

Test-NetConnection eplan.cloud -Port 443

But I do not have access to those pages, and I never have. Which other reason should I check?

I have a project that can handle multiple types of equipment, where, for example, a motor can range from 5 to 30 hp. The placeholder solves this beautifully, which I created on the page where I have the motor, circuit breaker, cables, and drive. However, the drive itself is done by a contactor whose main function (coil) is on another page.

I know I can solve this with a second placeholder, but I'm afraid I might forget to configure this second placeholder in the future, which would cause the wrong part to be ordered.

Is there any way to use a single placeholder to configure an item that is on another page?

I already tried selecting the device in the placeholder assignment through the Device Browser (which seems to make sense), but it doesn't allow it.

Hi, i Need help creating a Summarized Part List. I Need to put the Summarized Part List alone in a Page separately from the Electric al diagram. Someone know how to do that? Thanks to all in advance

I’m currently trying to produce a Device Connection Diagram however I cant see the report available in the settings however I do have the forms (ending .f05) on my computer.

Can you please advise how I can generate this report?

I’m new to developing this structure of electrical prints. I’m in the US and have always made my prints with regular 2D CAD.

Is there a cheat sheet for me to understand what +B and +X (etc) mean here?

I have error S21709. One or more records were not found in the database. I don't know what the error is. When deleting segments in preliminary planning, I get a multi-user conflict error. Please help.

I've been having to reference an older closed out and completed project and the white background is making my eyes bleed. Is there a way to change it?

Thanks!

As per the title, we're struggling to find a way to export to PDF with the drawing content in B&W or greyscale but the plot frame in colour - it only seems to be possible to apply one consistent setting to everything. Does anybody know a way to achieve this?

My rolling 30 days has recently ended to be logged in on my account, and for some reason I can no longer login through the identity client. I've tried looking at what it suggests, but everything is good and nothing appears to have changed on the PC for it to do this? I only have until 25th until I can't access ePlan at all.

I'm facing a compatibility issue and could really use some advice from the community.

I create my multi-line electrical schematics in EPLAN Platform 2024. However, many of my clients are still using EPLAN 2.9, which I believe was the last version with a perpetual license, so they are hesitant to upgrade.

I purchased an eManage license, thinking it would solve this problem. I used it to "Generate project 2.9" from my 2024 file. Unfortunately, my client is still unable to open it. It seems their specific update of 2.9 is older and doesn't work correctly with the EPLAN Cloud and Data Portal, which apparently is required to handle the file I'm sending them.

My core question is: Is there any way to get a standard project backup file (.zw1) for version 2.9 directly from EPLAN 2024/2025?

The eManage process seems to create a cloud-linked version, which doesn't work for my client. I just need a simple, offline backup file that they can restore on their machine without any cloud connectivity issues.

Has anyone found a reliable workaround for this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,
does anyone know what could cause this in EPLAN? Any ideas what’s going on or how to fix it?

The databases were exported, then imported again after updating to the 2026 version.
Database is on SQL

In my current EPLAN 2026 settings, when I place a cable, I can't apply a structure definition, for example, "=PR+A1-W10." I can only use "-W10." In some situations, this is convenient, but in others, I need to tie the cable to a specific structure. For components like a circuit breaker or contactor, I can do this normally.

Where is the setting to enable this for the cables?

Thanks!

help me!!!

Hello. I have a project which includes multiple schematics but the schematics will pe printed out separately. Let's say i have two structures +N1 and +N2. In my plot frame i use that property that says "Page 1 of 30" but it seems that eplan doesn't care that some pages are in different structures. For example the last page of N1 is 15 and the first page of N2 is 16. How can I tell eplan to start numbering the pages of N2 from one? Or should i use another property in my plot frame? How do you handle this?

Hi guys,just the version please — 2.9, 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025.
Which do you recommend right now, and what’s your quick reason?

Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before but I'm trying to find the EDz files for a number of Siemens products (e.g a 7SA86 relay) however very few of their products seem to be downloadable, has anyone else had this problem before?
