About this Course

Learn about using the powerful AutoCAD Electrical toolset, which offers automated drafting tools for designing wiring, circuiting, PLC modules, panels, and more. Explore the interface and the process of creating precise, measured electrical drawings and schematics.

Expert shows how to design wiring diagrams, insert components and terminals, use PLC symbols in ladder diagrams, perform point-to-point wiring, create custom symbols, add annotations like title blocks to drawings, and run reports, also shows how to adjust settings, customize the built-in templates, and use the drawing update tools to reuse, copy, export, and verify drawings.

 

Topics include:

  • Navigating the AutoCAD Electrical interface
  • Inserting, editing, and numbering wires
  • Using 3-phase ladders and components
  • Using the Circuit Clipboard and Circuit Builder
  • Editing, moving, copying, and deleting components
  • Copying installation and location code values
  • Inserting terminals and jumpers
  • Using PLC symbols
  • Inserting connectors for point-to-point wiring
  • Creating custom symbols
  • Setting up title blocks
