Core offering

Eboplan develops and sells EboCAD, a CAD add-on plugin for Autodesk AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, BricsCAD, and ecscad that enables electrical and sanitary/plumbing installation planning. The product line includes EboCAD (add-on for AutoCAD), EboCADpro (bundled with BricsCAD as a complete self-contained CAD system), and the EboCALK cost estimation module. The company also provides CAD training services and per-incident technical support.

Product overview

Eboplan GmbH offers a portfolio of CAD-based electrical and sanitary planning software, delivered as both a plugin add-on to AutoCAD and as a self-contained CAD system. The core product EboCAD is an add-on plugin for Autodesk AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, available in two primary variants: EboCAD Elektro-Plan for electrical installation drawings and EboCAD Schema for electrical schematics. These are supplemented by EboCAD Sanitär, a sanitary/heating symbol library extension, and EboCALK, a calculation and quotation module that generates Excel cost estimates from any AutoCAD drawing. EboCADpro is the complete bundled suite — it packages EboCAD Plan, EboCAD Schema, EboCALK, and the CAD platform BricsCAD (as a cost-effective AutoCAD alternative) into a single product for users who do not already own AutoCAD. EboCADpro is available in both Elektro and Sanitär variants. Eboplan also provides related training and IT services. The company holds over 2,500 EboCAD plan and schema licenses, making it the leading electrical CAD tool for AutoCAD and BricsCAD in its market.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• BricsCAD (Bricsys)coreTechnology or IntegrationBricsCAD is a key platform for EboCADpro products. Eboplan bundles BricsCAD (cost-effective alternative to AutoCAD) with their CAD add-on software. EboCADpro includes BricsCAD as an integrated component. BricsCAD uses native DWG format and supports AutoLISP, ADS, and AutoCAD keyboard commands, ensuring compatibility with AutoCAD workflows.
• Autodesk (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT)coreTechnology or IntegrationEboCAD is designed as an add-on/extension for Autodesk AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. EboCAD integrates fully into the AutoCAD interface. EboCAD can also be used with ecscad and Topobase. The software supports CAD data exchange in AutoCAD 2000-2014 and DXF formats.
• electrosuissecoreStrategic or Co-development Partnerelectrosuisse is the Swiss electrotechnical standards body. Eboplan's IEC symbol library is compliant with electrosuisse standards. This partnership ensures regulatory compliance and standardization of symbols for the Swiss and broader IEC market.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk (AutoCAD): Autodesk is the maker of AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT, the primary platform Eboplan's EboCAD add-on runs on, and offers AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP for the same electrical/plumbing planning workflows. It is both a critical platform dependency and a broad incumbent competitor in the same end-customer use cases.

Direct peers

• EPLAN: EPLAN is a leading electrical engineering and CAD/CAE platform for control cabinet design, schematics, and fluid/piping. It targets the same electrical planner and installer segment in DACH as Eboplan, though at a larger scale and with broader scope beyond installation planning.
• DDS-CAD: DDS-CAD is a direct competitor offering AutoCAD/BricsCAD-based electrical and plumbing CAD add-ons for DACH and broader European markets. It is highly comparable to EboCAD in target customers (engineering offices, installers), product category (CAD add-on plugins), and go-to-market.
• SEE Electrical (IGE+XAO/Trace Software): SEE Electrical is an electrical CAD software suite for schematic and installation design, serving engineering offices and electrical installers. It overlaps directly with EboCAD in functionality, customer base, and AutoCAD-based workflows.
• SolidWorks Electrical (Dassault Systèmes): SolidWorks Electrical is a Dassault Systèmes product for electrical schematic and design, often integrated with 3D mechanical CAD. It competes in the electrical CAD market targeted by EboCAD, particularly for designers using adjacent CAD platforms.
• WSCAD Software: WSCAD provides electrical CAD, schematic, and building installation software for engineering offices, electricians, and planners in DACH. It is a direct competitor in the same electrical planning niche as EboCAD with overlapping workflows.

Emerging players

• Trimble MEP / Stabicad: Stabicad (Trimble) is an MEP CAD add-on for Revit and AutoCAD, offering electrical, plumbing, and HVAC planning libraries. It overlaps with EboCAD in installation planning workflows and competes for the same engineering office customers.
• Bentley Promis-e: Bentley Promis-e is an electrical schematic and installation design tool used by engineering consultancies. It targets overlapping electrical CAD use cases to EboCAD, particularly for larger projects, and represents an enterprise-grade competitor in the same workflow.
• MagiCAD (MagiCAD Group / Glodon): MagiCAD is a BIM-based MEP design platform integrated with Revit, covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design. It is an emerging competitor in the same building-services planning space where Eboplan's sanitary/electrical tools operate.

Others

• Bricsys (BricsCAD): Bricsys is the maker of BricsCAD, the DWG-native CAD platform that Eboplan bundles with EboCADpro. While a platform/technology partner rather than competitor, Bricsys offers its own MEP-oriented tools and shapes the API and licensing environment Eboplan depends on.
