AutoCAD Electrical
CAD Software for Electrical Design
The AutoCAD Electrical toolset automates routine electrical design tasks and increases productivity in drawing creation. It provides the full functionality of AutoCAD plus dedicated features for planning electrical systems, including symbol libraries, bill-of-materials reports and PLC I/O drawings — making electrical planning processes considerably faster and more efficient.
AutoCAD Electrical is part of the AutoCAD toolsets.
Optimize 2D/3D Electrical Design
Extensive Library
Access a library of more than 65,000 intelligent electrical symbols.
Automated Features
Automatic wire numbering and component tag generation.
Transparent Documentation
Automatic generation and updating of custom reports.
Electrical Design for Every Need
65,000+ Electrical Symbols
Choose from an extensive library of user-friendly, color-coded, customizable electrical symbols; convert existing symbols or build custom components quickly with the symbol generator.
Electrical Standards Support
Supports the latest electrical standards, while continuing to offer the JIC and legacy IEC symbol libraries for older projects.
Automatic Reports
Simplify your workflow and save time through automatic creation and updating of various custom reports.
SQL Catalog Support
Save time with SQL catalog database support; when a bill of materials is created in Autodesk Vault, data from AutoCAD Electrical drawings is added to the report automatically, including catalog database details.
Wire and Component Tagging Automation
Save time through improved automation that enables automatic wire numbering and component tag generation.
Circuit Design and Reuse
Simplify electrical design with the Circuit Designer; access pre-filled data to build and label a selection of motor-control and feeder circuits.
Coil and Contact Cross-Referencing
Simplify projects by tracking parent and child contacts in real time, as the Circuit Designer dynamically builds the circuit and assigns a component tag to each part.
PLC I/O Drawings From Spreadsheets
Speed up workflows by using a single data file to create multiple drawings; define a project's I/O mapping and generate PLC drawings automatically from a spreadsheet, database or comma-separated text file.
Increase productivity and simplify your project with the time-saving features of the Project Manager; re-mark components, make file changes easily, and access straightforward export options.
