Discover the Time-Saving Features of AutoCAD Electrical for Efficient Electrical Control Design
Included in an AutoCAD with Specialized Toolsets subscription, the Electrical Toolset (previously known as AutoCAD Electrical) offers purpose-built electrical design tools that help eliminate errors and provide accurate information to manufacturing to allow more time for design and engineering.
If you’re currently using AutoCAD for electrical control design, upgrading to the Electrical Toolset can dramatically improve your workflow.
Unparalleled Efficiency
A productivity study conducted by Autodesk revealed that tasks completed with the Electrical Toolset were, on average, up to 95% faster than with basic AutoCAD.
- Design creation is up to 85% faster with an extensive symbol library of over 2,000 standards-based symbols and a simple pick-and-place workflow
- Automatic wire numbering features can save you up to 82% of your time with features that automatically tag and sequence wires across drawings
- Quickly generate PLC I/O drawings from spreadsheets for up to 99% time savings
Fewer Errors
Switching to the Electrical Toolset results in fewer errors with built in error checking and smart features that reduce the risk of costly mistakes and rework. Real-time alerts for duplicate tags, wire number conflicts, and intelligent wiring tools that automatically align and connect components ensure your design is right the first time, making complex electrical design easier than ever.
Data-Driven Design
The Electrical Toolset offers data-driven design tools with automated reports such as Bill of Materials (BOM) and wire lists, which eliminates tedious manual data collection, saving up to 97% of time on reporting tasks.
Seamless Project Management
External drawings can be brought into your Electrical toolset projects, so you can easily reuse existing drawings, track changes, and share revisions with minimal effort. Tools like “Mark/Verify” streamline collaboration and auditing processes.
Make the Switch to AutoCAD Electrical Toolset
The Electrical Toolset provides an unparalleled level of productivity that is not possible with basic AutoCAD. Whether you’re looking to speed up your workflow, minimize errors, or simplify complex designs, switching to the Electrical Toolset isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a game changer.
