Would only hydraulic sales professionals benefit using NetSkeme?

NetSkeme is designed for anyone who needs to create full-featured hydraulic schematics. Traditionally sales and field service professionals could not justify purchase of high-end, more complex desktop schematic solutions. NetSkeme addresses this need with a low-cost, intuitive, and accessible solution. Power users may find features not available with NetSkeme and would be candidates for desktop solutions such as VEST HyDraw CAD

Which DWG files can NetSkeme successfully open?

NetSkeme will import files created by a number of DWG-based hydraulic schematic solutions including: HyDraw CAD; Sun Hydraulics SmartConnect; Danfoss EasyManifold; and Delta-Power/Tecnord Xmanifold; HyDraw CAD is a desktop schematic drawing solution specifically designed for power users and is available for purchase from VEST, Inc.

Are my NetSkeme files managed on the cloud?

No. You manage your NetSkeme files on your desktop. Files will save to your Downloads folder by default unless you have changed your Downloads settings to be prompted for save location.

Do I need to be connected to the internet to use NetSkeme?

A connection to the internet is required to begin working with NetSkeme. Continuing to add/edit in absence of connectivity is generally not advised. Instead, wait for the connection to restore assuring that subsequent edits are reliably saved to the cloud as a secure session back-up. Note that all work saved to the cloud will be fully restored at next login in cases where the last active session had been interrupted (e.g. loss of connection, browser closed, computer power lost).

Will subscribing affect my free trial period?

No. The subscription period according to the plan selected applies after the trial period is complete. Payment will only be processed when the free trial completes.
