AutoCAD ELECTRICAL..?
• AutoCAD Electrical Software is an effective
design tools for create schematics, panel layout,
PLC diagram and reports.
• It supports control designers by means of

purpose-build tools to create and modify
electrical control systems.
• Automated tasks and comprehensive symbol

libraries help to increase productivity, reduce
errors, and provide accurate information to
manufacturing.
AutoCAD Electrical
What is it?
– Intelligent electrical controls design
– Fully native DWG
– Open and extendable
– The only logical choice for electrical controls design

 Automatic Project Reports
 Real-Time Error Checking
 Real-Time Coil and Contact Cross-Referencing
Create Smart Panel Layout Drawings
 Electrical-Specific Drafting Features
Automatically Create PLC I/O Drawings from Spreadsheets
 Share Drawings with Customers and Suppliers
 Reuse Existing Drawings
Comprehensive Symbol Libraries
 To quickly build standards based
controls designs
 Symbol libraries based on

International standards
 JIC, IEC, GB, JIS, AUS
 Automated insert component

process
Component Process and
Catalog Lookup
International Catalog Content
AutoCAD Electrical Delivers
 Expanded selection of manufacturers
 Manufacturer provided content
 Targeting periodic updates for subscription customers
Automatic Wire Numbering and
Component Tagging
Unique wire numbers and
component tags
 Referenced or sequential based

numbering
 Flexible numbering formats
 Automatically adds a suffix to

duplicates
Automatic Project Reports
 Report generation in AutoCAD Electrical design
software is simple, customizable, and offers the
option of running multiple reports with a single
command.
 Automatically generate reports that cover BOM,
from/to wire lists, PLC I/O, terminal plans, cable
summaries, and cross-referencing reports.
 Reports include
 Bill of Materials
 From/To Wire Lists
 Cable Lists
 Terminal Reports
 Much More…
 Multiple report generation with a single
command
 Flexible export options
BILL OF MATERIAL
• Using AutoCAD Electrical, you can perform a project-wide extract
of all BOM data found on your project drawing set.
• The data is extracted from the project database, matched with
standard entries in the catalog database, and then additional
fields are pulled from the catalog files.
• You can format this data into various report configurations and
output to report files, export to a spreadsheet or database
program, or place in an AutoCAD Electrical drawing.
Real Time Error Checking
To eliminate design errors before build

phase begins
– Design audit and repair

utility
– Automatic notification of
• Duplicates
• Resolution suggestions
Real Time Coil and Contact Cross-
Referencing
Relay on one Drawing
Error free use of relays
 Automatic tracking of relay coils

and contacts
 Updates to all related devices
 Alerts when number of contacts
are exceeded Contacts on Others
 Flexible display formats
Create Smart Panel Layout Drawings
Panel layout drawings that match the

corresponding schematic design
 Panel layout drawings driven by

schematic content
 Link between schematic and panel
components
 Changes to one automatically update the other
Electrical Specific Drafting Features
Slash design time using commands
specifically for electrical controls
designers
Specialized features such as:

 Trim wire
 Copy and delete component or
circuit
 Scoot and align components
Automatic PLC I/O Drawings
Eliminate redundant tasks involved in
designing a PLC I/O system
 Automatic PLC I/O drawing generation

from a spreadsheet 1
 PLC I/O address and description report
exported to PLC program
PLC Parametric selection
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) modules are built dynamically when
selected from the menu.
• From a small set of library symbols, hundreds of PLC modules can be built
on request.
Share Drawings and Track Changes
Easily share drawings with

downstream users
 DWG files compatible with

downstream AutoCAD and
AutoCAD LT users
 Ability to track and report changes
Reuse Existing Drawings
Easily reuse a specific part or an entire
drawing set when starting a new design
 Reuse commonly used circuits for use in

future designs
 Automatically renumbers wires and devices to
the configuration of the new project
 Retag all components in a project with a
single command
Benefits of Electrical CAD
