AutoCAD Electrical

AutoCAD Electrical is AutoCAD software for electrical control designers, specifically used to create and modify electrical control system drawings. In addition to all the functions of AutoCAD, this software also adds a series of tools for automating electrical control engineering design tasks, such as creating schematics, wire numbering, generating bills of materials, etc.

AutoCAD Electrical provides a database of more than 650,000 electrical symbols and components with real-time error checking, allowing electrical and mechanical design teams to collaborate efficiently through digital prototype models created using Autodesk Inventor software. AutoCAD Electrical can help electrical control engineers save a lot of time.

Features:

1. Improve production efficiency

When engineers design electrical systems, if they do not have a professional electrical design platform, they often face a lot of manual comparison, statistics and modification work, which is time-consuming, laborious and high-risk, seriously affecting production efficiency. AutoCAD Electrical software is AutoCAD software specifically for electrical control design engineers. It contains a large number of professional electrical design functions, allowing users to complete electrical design work efficiently and reliably in the familiar AutoCAD environment. Experimental statistics show that switching from AutoCAD to AutoCAD Electrical can increase production efficiency by 80%. * AutoCAD Electrical can help customers in the electrical industry bring more reliable products to market faster and at lower costs.

2. Reduce errors and comply with industry standards

When engineers use general-purpose software for electrical control design, it is easy to cause electrical correlation errors and data inconsistency. If these errors can be eliminated before the production process, the competitive advantage of the company can be greatly improved. AutoCAD Electrical has a real-time electrical rule checking function that can help electrical engineers diagnose errors online and report all electrical errors and hidden dangers before outputting production data, thereby ensuring the producibility of the data and avoiding cost waste and project delays. AutoCAD Electrical also supports domestic (GB) and international electrical industry standards, and can also convert design data into standards and languages, helping to directly promote products to the global market and participate in international competition. Major component suppliers in the electrical control industry have provided AutoCAD Electrical with more than 350,000 standard component symbols (including more than 3,000 intelligent PLC I/O modules), forming the software's comprehensive manufacturer's standard parts library to support users in consistent, standards-based designs.

3. Manage design data

After the design is completed, it is important to share accurate design data and component information with the manufacturing department. Using non-professional software to create critical schedules, BOMs, and from/to wire lists wastes a lot of time and resources. AutoCAD Electrical includes powerful automated reporting tools to ensure real-time and accurate sharing of design data with downstream users. In addition, AutoCAD Electrical is tightly integrated with Autodesk data management software, which facilitates efficient and safe exchange of design data and facilitates early collaboration between the design team and the manufacturing team.

4. Strengthen collaboration

AutoCAD Electrical supports the integration of electrical design and mechanical systems, allowing them to easily share cable and wire electrical design intentions directly with team members using Autodesk® Inventor® software, and add electrical control design data to digital prototypes. Users can also publish DWF™ files directly from AutoCAD Electrical for secure 2D and 3D design collaboration with customers, suppliers and other external team members. Teams can use free* Autodesk Design Review software to manage and track all components in digital prototypes—review, measure, tag, and track design changes entirely digitally to better reuse critical design data, manage bills of materials (BOM), and enhance collaboration with other teams and partners.
