How the AutoCAD Electrical Toolset saves you time

  • Number-01

    Comprehensive symbol libraries

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 85%

    Simple icon-menu-driven system includes over 2,000 standards-based schematic symbols. Smart schematic symbols align with the wires in the schematic drawing and renumber where applicable.

  • Number-02

    Automatic wire numbering and component tagging

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 82%

    Places sequential or reference-based numbers on wires and components based on the chosen configuration. Unique component tags/IDs are automatically generated.

  • Number-03

    Real-time error checking

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 83%

    Helps avoid costly errors during the design process. Requested changes are compared with the current project.

  • Number-04

    Real-time coil and contact cross-referencing

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 77%

    Sets up parent/child relations between electrical component symbols, even for different project drawings.

  • Number-05

    Electrical-specific drafting features

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 63%

    Many commands specifically designed for electrical schematic drawings are provided, greatly increasing efficiency

  • Number-06

    Automatically create PLC I/O drawings from spreadsheets

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 99%

    Create PLC I/O drawings quickly from spreadsheets using
    the PLC I/O utility.

  • Number-07

    Create smart panel layout drawings

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 61%

    Create physical footprint representations of panel layouts
    in project drawings linked to schematic component
    symbols.

  • Number-08

    Automatic project reports

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 97%

    Automatically generate comprehensive project reports
    including components, wires, Bill of Materials, etc.

  • Number-09

    Share and track drawing changes

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 86%

    Share project drawings with basic AutoCAD and AutoCAD
    LT. Changes made outside of the Electrical toolset are
    easily tracked and reported.

  • Number-10

    Reuse existing drawings

    Time savings with Electrical toolset up to 81%

    Import external drawings using the Update/Retag tool.
    Reduce time spent renaming DWG project files
