AutoCAD Electrical for the Process Plant IndustryAutoCAD® Electrical software is the leading application built specifically to create and modify electrical controls designs. AutoCAD Electrical automates many of the manual tasks associated with creating accurate, industry-standard electrical controls system designs. Automatic processes include wire numbering, component tagging, report generation, generation of bills of materials, creation of PLC I/O drawing from spreadsheets, and more: - Create design controls systems quickly and accurately, with significant cost savings.Use electrical-specific drafting commands to significantly reduce design time.
- Leverage existing common circuits for reuse in future designs.
- Quickly and easily create accurate panel layout drawings from schematics.
This software also includes automatic error-checking capabilities that help designers catch problems and errors before the project build phase and promote design consistency. - A comprehensive library of standards-based components supports local and international standards.
- Real-time error-checking monitors and alerts users to potential design errors.
- Real-time coil and contact cross-referencing reduces the risk of assigning too many contacts to any relay.
- The extensive manufacturer’s catalogue includes more than 350,000 components from popular vendors.
Organise, find, and reuse valuable design data fully integrated data management tools. Easily and securely store, manage, and share work-in-process design data. - Bidirectional interoperability with Autodesk® Inventor™ Professional software adds valuable electrical controls design data to a digital prototype created in Inventor.
- Exchange data with customers and suppliers through the DWG format.
- Automatically convert data into intelligent AutoCAD Electrical designs without losing previous customisations or spending hours on rework.
