AutoCAD Electrical - the logical choice for electrical controls design.AutoCAD® Electrical is AutoCAD® software for controls designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems. It contains all the functionality of AutoCAD, the world's leading CAD software, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating control engineering tasks, such as building circuits, numbering wires, and creating bills of material. AutoCAD Electrical provides a library of more than 650,000 electrical symbols and components, includes real-time error checking, and enables electrical and mechanical teams to collaborate on digital prototypes built with Autodesk® Inventor® software. AutoCAD Electrical offers control engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend more time innovating.
If you design machines or products that move, then the design of electrical controls are probably a key design requirement. Electrical controls designers have relied on generic applications that are problematic because they require the manual layout of electrical schematics, have no error checking or automated capability and are ultimately inefficient costing your company time and money. AutoCAD® Electrical delivers the tools needed to design and modify electrical controls faster and more accurately than ever before: increase design productivity, reduce errors, automate key control systems design tasks, and facilitate collaboration, all while maintaining a seamless integration with the familiar AutoCAD.
AutoCAD Electrical software is purposebuilt, and automates the manual tasks associated with creating accurate electrical designs, which enables users to spend more time designing and less time on repetitive and nonproductive tasks. Very Importantly AutoCAD® Electrical is part of the Autodesk solution for manufacturing design, and enables both electrical and mechanical teams to work collaboratively by making it easy to share the electrical intent from the controls design with the Autodesk® Inventor Professional and Inventor Routed Systems application. The ultimate 3D Eelctromechanical Design Solution.
Using generic CAD tools for electrical design, errors and design inconsistencies can be easily introduced. Removing these errors from the design process before they reach the shop floor provides a distinct competitive advantage. AutoCAD Electrical includes automatic error-checking capabilities that help designers avoid errors in real time and catch problems before the build phase of a project. In addition, AutoCAD Electrical helps companies reduce costs by offering support for local and international standards; and provides a comprehensive library of manufacturer content, enabling users to produce standards-based designs using a consistent set of manufacturer components. In the end, using AutoCAD Electrical allows companies to reduce costs and stay ahead of the competition.
Once a design is complete, it’s time to share the design and its associated information with the teams responsible for ordering parts, building the control panel, and running the wires. Creating critical reports such as parts lists, bills of materials, and from/to wire lists by hand is errorprone and time consuming. When using traditional methods of creating reports, even the smallest design change can lead to critical errors that could result in delivery delays to the customer. To help your company prevent costly delays, AutoCAD Electrical includes robust, automated reporting tools so the design data being shared with downstream users is correct and up-to-date with the latest information.
