AUTOMATIC SYMBOL COUNT FOR ELECTRICAL DRAWINGS
Every symbol on an electrical drawing, counted in seconds.
SymCount reads each sheet’s own legend and finds on the plan every symbol it lists: outlets, lights, switches, boxes and any others. Each one is marked on the plan and counted for its legend line.
How it works
Open the PDF and outline the legend.
SymCount reads every legend line and searches the whole plan.
Confirm the few doubtful places and export the report.
Why teams use it
Any office’s drawings, from day one
Symbols come from each sheet’s own legend: no symbol library to build, no setup per client.
Every find is visible
Each symbol is marked on the plan. Doubtful places go to a short list, confirmed with one click.
Missed one? Show it once
Outline a single symbol on the plan and SymCount finds every one like it on the sheet.
One-click report
The legend, the plan with every symbol marked, a quantity table and an Excel file.
Drawings stay private
It also runs fully offline on a laptop, when drawings must not leave the office.
Clean to license
Our own code. Open-source parts only under permissive licenses (MIT, BSD, Apache), nothing under GPL or AGPL.
Online without expensive servers
SymCount needs only an ordinary processor, no GPU.
- Run it as an online service on ordinary, low-cost servers: no GPU servers to rent.
- Handle more drawings by adding more of the same servers; the cost per sheet stays low as volume grows.
- The same program runs on an estimator’s laptop, with the same result.
Try it on your own drawings
We will give your team the application to test on 10–20 of your own sheets, under an NDA if you prefer. If it fits, we can talk about licensing it or building it into your product.
