The Power of AutoCAD Electrical If you design machines or products that move, electrical controls are probably a key component of your design requirement. Electrical controls designers have often relied on generic applications to get their jobs done. This can be problematic because those applications require manual layout of electrical schematics, can introduce design errors, and provide no simple way to share design information a combination that can ultimately cost your company time and money.

AutoCAD® Electrical software ships with more than 2,000 standards-based schematic symbols. A simple, menu-driven system for inserting electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) devices enables you to quickly build standards-based controls designs by selecting frequently used devices from a menu. Symbol libraries include support for the AS, GB, IEC, JIC, and JIS standards.

Automatically assign unique wire numbers and component tags in your drawings and reduce the time you spend tracking design changesâ resulting in fewer errors. AutoCAD Electrical automatically places sequential or reference-based numbers on all wires and components based on the chosen configuration. AutoCAD Electrical can determine if an inserted wire number will "bump into" anything and automatically searches laterally along the wire for a clear spot to place the wire number. If no clear spot is found, AutoCAD Electrical continues to search for a clear spot away from the wire and, when found, automatically draws a leader back to the wire.

Drastically reduce the time required to manually generate and update reports, while removing associated errors. Report generation in AutoCAD Electrical is simple with a variety of automatic reports, including bills of materials (BOMs), cable lists, terminal reports, from/to wire lists, and many more. The report function gives you the option of generating multiple reports with a single command and includes flexible export options.
