I'm doing a uni group project, we recently made the decision to change the PLC and modules from Siemens to Schneider, since we are better at SoMachine and we hardly know anything about TiaPortal. It was so easy to get the ePlan macros from the Siemens website but I can't find the Schneider ones anywhere, their website only has CAD, other 3D models and a security copy of an ePlan project that no one seems to be able to open. I checked ePlan data portal and there's only an image of the macro and no option to download it. Am I searching for something that doesn't exist or is there a site where you can download the macros?

It is possible that Schneider does not provide ePlan macros for their products, or they may have a different method of providing them. Here are some suggestions that you could try:
Contact Schneider support: Try reaching out to Schneider's customer support team to inquire about the availability of ePlan macros for their products. They may be able to provide you with the necessary information or direct you to a resource where you can find what you're looking for.
Check third-party sources: There are websites that offer ePlan macros and symbols for various manufacturers, including Schneider. You could try searching for such websites and see if they have what you need. However, be cautious when downloading files from unknown sources, as they may contain viruses or other malware.
Create your own macros: If you are unable to find the ePlan macros you need, you could consider creating them yourself. This may require some additional work, but it will ensure that the macros meet your specific requirements and can be easily modified if needed.
Use alternative design software: If ePlan macros are not available for Schneider products, you could consider using alternative design software that is compatible with Schneider hardware. Some examples include AutoCAD Electrical, Altium Designer, and Cadence Allegro PCB Design. However, this may require additional training and may not be a feasible option depending on the project timeline and budget.

Normally SE offers Eplan Macros. Sometime via SE webpage, but mostly via Eplan Data Portal.
