Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical 2023 Overview
AutoCAD Electrical Toolset is now included in AutoCAD. Efficiently create, modify, and document electrical control systems using an industry-specific electrical design toolset.
It includes all the features of AutoCAD plus a complete set of tools for automating control engineering tasks such as creating electrical circuits, numbering wires and creating bills of materials.
The program provides a library of over 700,000 electrical symbols and components, includes real-time error checking, and allows electrical and mechanical teams to collaborate on digital prototypes created with Autodesk Inventor software. Electrics gives control engineers a competitive advantage by saving hours of effort and allowing them to spend more time innovating.
Electrical is one of the toolsets available in one AutoCAD. This powerful AutoCAD add-on for electrical designers and engineers offers automated drafting tools for designing wiring, circuiting, PLC modules, panels, and data and schedules. This is on top of all the benefits that AutoCAD brings. This course provides the novice user with the training required to use AutoCAD Electrical quickly and effectively.
What is electrical design?
Electrical design is the process of planning and creating electrical equipment such as electrical components, wiring diagrams, lighting fixtures, power systems and telecommunications infrastructure. Electrical design software and tools address the unique workflow of electrical control system designers.
What are electrical schematics?
An electrical schematic is a type of electrical design that provides a graphical depiction of an electrical circuit. Its primary purpose is to show how the components of a circuit are laid out and interconnected, rather than to show a realistic, scaled representation of a finished engineering or architectural project. Electrical schematics may also be referred to as circuit diagrams.
