UDC Distribution Design Software

Streamline your Electrical Distribution Design process with our powerful AutoCAD plugin.

Powerful Features

Everything you need for efficient underground and overhead distribution design from start to finish.

With features specifically targeting Civil Electrical Projects.

Automatic Scheduling

UDC tells you what schedules you need. Automatically generated schedules, updated at every change and constantly monitored for accuracy.

Schedules can be individually scaled, can be split at any point the user chooses, can be adjusted to suit comments and have custom notes applied extremely quickly and easily.

Each client can control the colour of the schedules, the text and the linework! It is fully customisable to suit any current standard you have. You can even control the conduit sizes on a project by project basis.

Every schedule required for a design is created and specific schedules such as the Ergon Works schedule are automatically created for the user. You cannot forget to apply a schedule. UDC will also remove it for you if it is no longer valid!

Street Light Certification

Integrate your Perfect Lite output files into your UDC project. UDC will read your output file and strip the required data, storing it against any light you choose.

Road Lighting certification is made easy as UDC will then collate this information, sort it and create all the required information for each luminaire rate, type, height, offset etc, creating AS1158 compliant information. As well as this, it will list the spacing calculations you used and display them for you to collate for RPEQ certification.

Drawing Efficiency

No spreadsheet macro combination can stand up against UDC. Everything is done for you.

Rate 3 drawing functionality to eliminate the need for duplicate drawings. UDC will split your designs, apply the Council schedules and create Schematics!

Equipment Management

Let UDC tell you what materials you need, which pillar constructions, what cables and how much. It will also identify how many Site ID's you need and apply them to every item that requires it.

Instant materials summaries and advice on missing information from EQL libraries.

Materials Management

Runtime materials breakdowns and extraction for accurate inventory.

Phasing & Reports

Comprehensive phasing calculations and detailed reports to assist with load balancing and voltage drop calculations.

Enhanced Documentation

Schematic, Commissioning Plan, and labelling enhancements. UDC is designed to help you identify what you need. Labelling is simply selected from the schematics, so human errors during the translation stage are reduced significantly.

The user types nothing. Every part of the design process is a simple clicking exercise.

Schematics

This is where it all pays off. Schematics are generated from your designs easily and EXCEPTIONALLY accurately. HV, LV, Rate 2 and 3, or Private Metered Street lighting. Simply grab the whole design and UDC will make your schematics for you.

From here, you are given everything you need to generate your labels, Commissioning Plan and details.

Cable Hauling Calculator

One click cable hauling calculations for any range of cables, HV to streetlight. Users can edit the cable properties, add or modify the existing calculation and store it.

Once the initial calculation is done, the user can select which cable to calculate (by voltage) or whether to add a record column.

Project Management

Switching sheet, lodgement fee and materials ordering tools.

Compare any two designs (e.g. Rev A vs Rev B) and UDC will give you a complete materials comparison. Right down to the kerb markers.

AGi Conversion Tools

UDC has a complete suite of AGi Output conversion and insertion functionality. Transfer of information is sped up significantly allowing users to create a Road Lighting certification drawing in accordance with AS1158.

Station Numbering

Fast, accurate, and easily modified. Changing any Station number updates every label, Schematic, Schedule and Detail in the project. Station numbers can easily be inserted between others, increased or decreased by any amount, and removed with very minimal need for the user to update anything further.

Seamless Interface

Any UDC user can have any number of different ASP designs open at any one time and jump between them. UDC instantly follows your design, and knows when to switch from Energex to Ergon to Essential or whoever you choose!

Utility Tools

Additional routines for drawing cleaning, fast conversions, and a multitude of other assistance tools.
