Courseware Description

This guide provides an overview of many AutoCAD Electrical utilities designed to enable users to quickly create and manage electrical-controls production drawings. Users focus on how to build intelligent ladder diagrams and panel layouts, and how to leverage the intelligence built into AutoCAD Electrical. Hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios for the IEC (international) standard are included.

Objectives

To teach users the basic commands necessary for creating professional electrical-controls drawings with AutoCAD Electrical software.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Navigate the AutoCAD Electrical user interface.
  • Manage projects and the multiple drawing and inter-drawing relationships contained in electrical projects.
  • Insert wires, add wire numbers, manage circuits, and create point-to-point wiring diagrams and drawings.
  • Insert and annotate schematic symbols.
  • Edit drawings project wide with commands that are specific to the electrical design environment.
  • Extract information from drawings to create Bill of Material, Wiring, and other reports.
  • Create and annotate panel layout drawings with lists of components that are extracted from schematic drawings and with other specific panel layout tools, such as the Terminal Strip Editor.

Who will benefit?
