AutoCAD® Electrical is AutoCAD® software for controls designers, purpose-built to accelerate the creation of electrical control systems by automating electrical engineering tasks and providing comprehensive symbol libraries.
AutoCAD® Electrical 2012 Fundamentals (IEC) covers the indispensable core topics for working with the AutoCAD Electrical software. In this training guide, students learn how to use many of the powerful electrical drawing creation tools in the software. Students create schematic drawings (ladder logic and point to point), panel drawings, and PLC-I/O circuits using automated commands for symbol insertion, component tagging, wire numbering, and drawing modification. In addition, students are introduced to methods of customizing AutoCAD Electrical symbols, circuits, and databases. Other topics covered include title block linking, reporting tools, templates, and project files.
Topics include:
Understanding project files
Creating and editing schematic and panel drawings
Working with PLC symbols
Creating custom symbols
Generating reports
