Key features include:

  • Fast and simple device selection spreadsheet
  • Multiple IDNAC circuit designs, including voltage drop and current calculation support for class A, class B and mixed circuits
  • Easy calculation of t-tapped circuits
  • IDNAC repeater support for class A, B and extended-mode selections
  • Circuit tree view with easily identifiable tap levels
  • Exportable project view for submittal packages
  • Easy creation of one-line riser drawings
  • Fast and simple device selection spreadsheet
  • Dedicated selector screens for IDNet, IDNAC, NAC, third-party items, Foundation Series and 4007ES
  • Integrated labor calculator
  • Selection filters, including a bill-of-materials view
  • CSV Importation for takeoff totals using Bluebeam Revu®
  • CSV Exportation to Selection Navigator or CPQ for pricing

Note: Microsoft Excel 365 is required to run IDNAC Point to Point Circuit Designer
