Product information on the LVZ program system
The program has been developed since 1989 with the name LVZ mistaken for LeistungsVerZeichnis. The name stood for a pure text solution.
From 1993 onwards, the development basing on AutoCAD® started as a CAD program with complete mass transfer, whereby the name remained unchanged.
Now the focus of the program is on the Z like Zeichnung (drawing) and thus in the CAD area including the associated technical calculations, evaluations, lists and diagrams.
Since March 2010, LVZ has been developing in parallel for Bricscad™. In June 2019, the 3rd CAD core was integrated based on ZWCAD.
The main focus of the system is on technical calculations (the results of which are immediately shown in the drawing), the creation of installation plans,
general circuit diagrams, contact plans, line plans, any diagrams and service specifications with the focus on electrical installation.
Included are short-circuit proof, proof of the switch-off conditions (zeroing proof), calculation of fire loads, voltage drop, losses, profit and amortization,
lighting calculation, cable dimensioning, transformer parallel operation, earthing systems, part dimensioning, a material database and more than 1,500 part components and
4,500 standard symbols, with a further approx. 3,000 manufacturer-specific symbols can be supplied.
In addition to the normal symbols, which can carry up to 100 attributes with material information for the course, calculation results and technical data,
many geometries are available as a mathematical model. These intelligent macros adjust the appearance and size according to user requirements when called.
Since the entire system works consistently three-dimensionally, cuts, perspectives or wall developments can be derived from the building model immediately.
Furniture, devices, lights and installation devices are shown in 3D. Cable lengths are precisely determined and coordination with other trades is simplified.
Interfaces to C.A.T.S. and liNear for collision checking are included.
The system includes a trade-neutral digitizing module with which paper drawings, 2D DWG, PDF, PNG or GIF files can be transferred to the computer effectively and
almost photo-realistically as a volume model. Of course, any IFC file and any 3D DWG can be used for the LVZ building model.
With the mass extracts from the drawings, complete specifications can be set up and evaluated directly from the CAD or the data can be transferred to any
user-specific AVA via standardized interfaces. Complete GAEB-LVs can be created directly from the drawing (s) of the entire project without additional AVA.
With the information stored in the attributes of the symbols, databases for facility management can be set up, maintained and supplemented, whereby the
interface between drawing (s) and database (s) works in both directions. If the external data is changed or expanded, the drawings can be updated across projects.
The system is freely configurable. Any number of programs such as lighting calculation, word processing, spreadsheets, databases, etc. can be directly integrated as a CAD command and called up from the drawing.
All supplied files such as tables, diagrams, menus, article master data, images and CAD symbols are available in freely editable formats, so that the database can be adapted and expanded by the user without having to use additional software and special knowledge.
Important parts of the program were developed directly in or together with the planning offices
Ingenieurbüro Elektrotechnik Döbeln,
elt-ib Markkleeberg and
EPIC Elektro Planung Ingenieur Consult in Erfurt
parallel to the daily planning work. The direct coupling to practical use is reflected in the operation and handling as well as in the command set and in the application options of the system.
Interfaces are: IFC, ASCII / ANSI, DataNorm, EldaNorm, GAEB, Excel, FM, AVAnce, to the HLS software CATS Darmstadt, to liNear Aachen and to the lighting calculations DIALux and Relux.

Easy entry - wide range of functions
Every good engineer and every good draftsman knows AutoCAD®, BricsCAD™ and ZWCAD. LVZ is just an essay on these basic CAD products.
So you start at a known level because all commands that are already familiar continue to work in full. Only new ones are added, those from LVZ.
These can be gradually acquired and the way of working can be switched to effective computer use. If the user misses any function in the LVZ, it can be done temporarily, as before, at the level of AutoCAD®, BricsCAD™ or ZWCAD.
In general, a single call to our house is sufficient and the desired function is available via update within a few days.
In contrast, there are CAD products from other providers with their own CAD core. On the one hand they will never reach the scope and flexibility of AutoCAD®, BricsCAD™ or ZWCAD,
on the other hand you have to understand a completely new and self-contained operating concept. What the manufacturer has not provided for does not go out. The advertised cost savings because you don't need AutoCAD® or BricsCAD™ is of course nonsense.
Logically, the integrated CAD core also has to be paid for. It gets really interesting with every change of the AutoCAD® drawing format. Then you have to buy twice as expensive.
Furthermore, the integrated CAD core always has to be adapted when customers or the practice require new functions, which in addition to high costs also results in errors and delays.

Our contacts ...
- We do not influence building authorities or administrations.
- We do not lobby at master schools or universities.
- We do not clean door handles and do not employ representatives or area sales managers.
- We also have no sales managers, account managers, marketing experts, corporate communicators or event managers.
- We are not at trade fairs.
- We do not bother you with our advertising on every website.
- We have no printed rulers, no coffee cups with the LVZ logo and no colored mouse pads.
- We have no image films for self-expression.
- We are successful.
Satisfied users have recommended us - for 27 years. There is no better, more honest and of course cheaper advertising.
Our service and our philosophy
We want
- satisfied users who use our product in the long term
- users who recommend our product to other potential users
- designers and craftsmen who contribute their knowledge and experience in our product
So we offer more than a computer program off the shelf, which is sold by theorists or pure computer scientists against prepayment, without manual and poor support.
We deliver our product, i.e.
- the software as a download, on a USB stick, SD card or USB hard drive - no installation and no admin required - plug & work, a printed manual
and our knowledge
- in the form of technical and, above all, personal advice before buying, based on sound electrical engineering training,
- as training or coaching for users under their very specific conditions and requirements,
- as free and lifelong telephone support on weekdays, who knows no "office hours" but also on weekends or on public holidays can be reached,
- via remote maintenance so that the distance is no longer an issue,
- when it comes to support, do not talk to only untrained third parties. You can get help directly from programmers with expertise in electrical engineering. That should also be a unique selling point.
We not only design the software according to our theoretical ideas, but
- all useful user wishes flow into the software from preliminary discussions and, of course, from the experience of our mostly long-time users.
- we deliver user-specific solutions and eliminate any errors found.
- software and support come from a single source at IBS Döbeln.
- offers made once are still valid after many months.

FAQ´s - Frequently Asked Questions - Some LVZ specials
no advertising as a matter of course - instead, clear and verifiable information
no defined project structure or administration necessary - the user uses his previous organizational form such as the structure of folders
no external database required - all technical information including calculation results are in the drawing; from this it follows that every LVZ drawing
can also be edited under pure AutoCAD® without subsequent processing under LVZ leading to database problems or data loss; for example. If symbols, cables or
routes have been deleted in AutoCAD® only, they automatically disappear from the list of services automatically created below under LVZ; conversely, the LV
quantities automatically increase when new elements have been created or existing ones have been copied under AutoCAD®
no additional data structures besides the drawings are necessary - lists and tables up to the complete specification can be derived from the drawings;
however, they are always only the result of the CAD work; the linchpin is always the drawing; in the event of changes in the drawings, these lists are simply
re-created by the associated evaluation commands and do not have to be maintained in parallel (which is undoubtedly also possible for small changes)
no special objects - that can only be read under LVZ and not under pure AutoCAD® (proxy objects); an exchange of drawings between different trades is possible without any problems
no practical over-automation and no show commands, that can only be used in prepared sample projects - there are no commands with which automatic processing is advertised,
but which, in practical use, require more preparatory work before the actual command start than they do afterwards save time through automation
no limitation to the latest AutoCAD® version - currently. the AutoCAD® versions 2007-2020, Bricscad ™ V13-V20 and ZWCAD 2019-2020 are in use
no additional costs hidden in the software - no decoy offers are made, which advertise with small entry-level prices but require the purchase of modules after a short familiarization
no costs for telephone hotline - information by telephone or email is unlimited free of charge, no matter how often a user needs it and regardless of whether calls are made during the training or after years; remote maintenance is avaliable
no trouble with software protection - LVZ 2010 with a new dongle; new copy protection modules from SG Intec Ltd & Co KG from Kiel are introduced.
So far, annoying driver problems with the previous dongle series have been eliminated. The new copy protection for LVZ does not require any drivers and therefore does not require administrator rights during installation.
all symbol libraries can be easily expanded by the user and existing symbols can be used; clear symbol management; user-specific symbols are managed separately and are therefore update-safe
all external data such as tables, data lists, configuration files, menus, dialogs and the AVA texts are in plain text and can be supplemented and adapted with a normal text editor without special previous knowledge;
for example. You do not have to add the required special cables depending on the software manufacturer; everyone can add these data sets themselves; SQL or ODBC databases, with which other providers adorn themselves
and which are not suitable for the user due to their complexity and the high additional license costs, are in no way necessary under LVZ.
all first licenses are installed by the user and demonstrated within 1 working day; installation problems with technical questions are avoided and the training time is shortened.
all information at a glance - instead of small, playful dialogues with sub-dialogs from which you can only get drop-by-drop information and forget at the latest in the 3rd dialog, which entries are in the 1st dialog,
become large dialog boxes provided for the technician; input values and results are always together; variant comparisons are easy to do.
all changed configuration data and all saved files are displayed - the software is transparent and the user knows what he is doing and where which data is being saved; no opaque automatisms;
every configuration change is saved immediately and can be restored at any time.
all symbols are constructed exactly; and details are shown ´lovingly´ - no sloppy mass work
all commands are easy to learn and can be used practically sensibly; the value of CAD software is not measured according to the advertising-effective calculations or designs that you need once a month,
but in the multitude of tools, evaluations and drawing tools that are necessary every day, but neither AutoCAD® nor other applications deliver
all user requests those that are feasible and technically sensible are quickly included in the program
quickly - where others are still busy defining the project, LVZ already has finished results
systematically - LVZ consists of uniform components as if from a single cast and not from duplicated ones modules and purchases of third-party software parts

Data protection ...
We protect your data and protect it from loss. Every drawing you make is optionally cached with every save command in the LVZ collective folder. This works like a wastepaper basket in which every intermediate stage of the drawings
can be found until it is finally emptied. All program settings and configuration values are instantly saved in our initialization file, which is itself backed up daily. If there are errors, just use the version from yesterday or last week.
Each program file can be replaced directly by the user with a copy. There are no complicated program structures under LVZ. The word "reinstallation" is unknown to us.
Images ...
The following overview contains images with sections of dialogs from the program system and drawings that were created with the program. You can see a larger scope of the system on the left in the navigation bar or in the DEMO version,
which you can download in the top left of the navigation bar or order via eMail Service@IBSDL.de or by phone at (03431)-574153.
