AutoCAD Electrical Design More “Green” with AutoCAD Electrical Circuit Builder
Focus on a “green” engineering aspect of Circuit Builder. This relates to wire size calculation – the long-term environmental cost of using a minimum wire size versus over-sizing conductors to reduce accumulated IR heating losses in the conductors. Also look at Circuit Builder’s ability to split a set of large diameter conductors into multiple smaller conductors per phase to potentially reduce the total amount of copper used in the circuit. Will show various scenarios and the potential cost savings, both in reduced heating released into the environment and reduced copper usage.
Watch Now Tips and Tricks for getting the most out of AutoCAD Electrical’s Circuit Builder
In this webcast, we’ll demonstrate how Circuit Builder-created 1-line motor or power feed circuits can subsequently drive Circuit Builder as it generates the 3-line schematic circuit representations. We’ll also show how they are then linked… updating a tag on one updates the other via the “peer” WDTAGALT mechanism. Explore the circuit “History” feature of Circuit Builder. Examine some of the marker block special attributes that drive such things as “stretch to connect”, execution order, and component and wire number tag format.
Watch Now Dramatic Electrical Design Productivity Enhancement with the AutoCAD Electrical Icon Menu and Wizard
View a demonstration of the Icon Menu Wizard tool for both schematic component insertion and schematic circuit insertion. See the Icon Menu in action for panels as well. Look at some of the existing examples of ribbon buttons that call directly into a specific page of the icon menu. Lastly, find out how to create a ribbon button that calls into a specific page within the schematic or panel icon menu.
> Watch Now Streamlining and Automating Common Title Block Tasks with AutoCAD Electrical
Tasks like Title Block data entry and maintenance are not complex, but they have to be done and can suck up a lot of time. Discover the various tools in AutoCAD Electrical related to the title block and how to link it to project and drawing-specific settings. Learn how to show project-wide title block updates, reports, and insert a title block table onto a title page in the project. See a demo of setting up a title block to link into AutoCAD Electrical, including both the “.dwt” approach and the “WD_TB” attribute technique.
> Register Now AutoCAD Electrical Circuit Builder (Part 2) – Linking into Electrical Standards
This webcast will focus on some key “engineering” aspects of Circuit Builder; Linking into electrical standards for motor/load values; Wire size calculation based upon load but enable de-rating adjustments based upon ambient temperature, wire insulation type, power conductors grouped in conduit/cable/raceway. Demonstrate Circuit Builder’s ability to switch between copper versus aluminum and AWG versus metric wire size calculations. Explore Circuit Builder’s ability to auto-size power switches, breakers, and fuses based upon selected motor/load size and voltage. Show how these standards are available and open to the user for adjustment to conform to target installation’s local standards and/or company practices.
> Coming Soon Circuit Design with AutoCAD Electrical
