AutoCAD ElectricalAutoCAD® Electrical software is the leading application built specifically to create and modify electrical controls designs. It contains all the functionality of AutoCAD® software plus an extensive set of electrical-specific features and functions that can offer significant productivity gains. AutoCAD Electrical automates many of the manual tasks associated with the creation of industry-standard electrical controls system designs. Automatic processes include wire numbering, component tagging, report generation, bills of materials generation, and PLC I/O drawing creation from spreadsheets. Instrument and electrical engineers use AutoCAD Electrical to create design controls systems with speed and accuracy. - Use electrical-specific drafting commands to significantly reduce design time.
- Leverage existing common circuits for reuse in future designs.
- Quickly and easily create panel layout drawings from schematics with more accuracy.
This software also includes automatic error-checking features that promote design consistency and help designers catch mistakes before the project build phase. - Comprehensive library of standards-based components supports local and international standards.
- Real-time error-checking alerts users to potential design errors.
- Real-time coil and contact cross-referencing helps reduce the risk of assigning too many contacts to any relay.
- Extensive manufacturer’s catalogue includes more than 350,000 components from popular vendors.
- Fully integrated data management enables users to organize, find, store, and reuse valuable work-in-process design data.
- Bidirectional interoperability with Autodesk® Inventor® Professional software adds valuable electrical controls design data to a digital prototype created in Inventor.
- DWG™ technology enables designers to exchange data with customers and suppliers.
Interoperable infrastructure automatically converts data into intelligent AutoCAD Electrical designs without losing previous customizations. AutoCAD Electrical Productivity StudyA study comparing the time required to complete 10 tasks in both basic AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical supports the following conclusion: switching can increase your productivity by as much as 80 percent.
