Features That Power
AutoCAD Electrical design software is AutoCAD for electrical controls designers. It includes all the functionality of AutoCAD software plus a complete set of electrical CAD features, including comprehensive symbol libraries and tools for automating electrical design tasks.
AutoCAD Electrical includes all functionality in AutoCAD software, plus electrical engineering features such as symbol libraries, bill of materials (BOM) reporting, and PLC I/O design that make controls design fast and efficient.
AutoCAD Electrical automates common tasks and facilitates drafting productivity. Engineers can dynamically generate rules-based electrical control circuits; extract a list of electrical schematic components for panel layout drawings; run multiple reports with the simple, customizable report generation tool; generate and update customizable reports; collaborate with customers and suppliers by sharing AutoCAD drawings with them.
What makes AutoCAD Electrical more powerful in terms of increasing design productivity are the options to create folders to organize drawings; flexible drag-and-drop file organization; smart electrical panel layout drawings, and rich content library of electrical symbols, among other intuitive software interfaces.
The feature of automatic wire numbering/component tagging helps engineers reduce errors. They can use marking menus to shorten editing time. The best part is the circuit designs generated using AutoCAD Electrical are made available for reuse.
