AutoCAD® Electrical is AutoCAD® software for controls designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems. It contains all the functionality of AutoCAD, the world’s leading CAD software, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating control engineering tasks, such as building circuits, numbering wires, and creating bills of material.
AutoCAD Electrical offers control engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend more time innovating.
Library Standards
AutoCAD Electrical 2012 includes an enhanced library of standards and two new sets of library symbols to comply with both IEEE 315/315A and IEC-60617 standards. With support for international standards and comprehensive libraries of manufacturer content and symbols, AutoCAD Electrical helps you to easily create standards-based designs that comply with industry requirements and compete globally.
Streamlined Schematic Component Updating
The specialized drafting features in AutoCAD Electrical software can save hours of design time. Users of AutoCAD Electrical 2012 can now copy information from a one-line component to a schematic component, which helps streamline the process of editing component information.
Update Components from Catalog Database
AutoCAD Electrical 2012 control design software makes it easier to assign a catalog value to a component. The component updates with related values from the catalog database. If these related values change later in the database, you can update the components with the new values. This capability updates many values such as Schematic parent pin list, Weblink, Textvalue, and Terminal properties, helping you save time and increase the accuracy of your designs.
