AutoCAD Electrical 2012

AutoCAD Electrical software is AutoCAD software for electrical controls designers. Created for electrical control systems, AutoCAD Electrical design software includes all the functionality of AutoCAD plus a complete set of electrical CAD features. Comprehensive symbol libraries and tools for automating electrical design tasks help to save hours of effort, so electrical engineers can spend more time innovating.

Features:
The Logical Choice for Electrical Controls Design AutoCAD Electrical is AutoCAD software for controls designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control systems. Automated tasks and comprehensive symbol libraries help to increase productivity, reduce errors and provide accurate information to manufacturing.

Increase Productivity
When engineers create electrical control systems using software not specifically built for electrical design tasks, they must often find manual workarounds to get the job done, wasting valuable design time and limiting productivity. Since AutoCAD Electrical software is AutoCAD for controls designers, it contains many features and benefits that enable users to dramatically increase design efficiency, while maintaining a smooth integration with the familiar AutoCAD environment.

Reduce Errors and Comply with Industry Standards
As engineers create electrical controls designs using generic tools, it is easy to introduce errors and design inconsistencies. The ability to virtually eliminate errors before they reach the shop floor can provide a distinct competitive advantage. AutoCAD Electrical includes automatic errorchecking capabilities that help designers perform real-time diagnostics to catch problems before the build phase of a project. In addition to reducing errors. AutoCAD Electrical helps companies compete in the global marketplace by offering support for regional and international standards.


Manage Design Data
Once the design is complete, it is important to share accurate design and part information with manufacturing. Creating crucial parts lists, BOMs and from/to wire lists using software that is not built specifically for these tasks can waste valuable time and resources. AutoCAD Electrical includes robust automated reporting tools so the design data being shared with downstream users is correct and current.


Facilitate Collaboration
AutoCAD Electrical enables both electrical and mechanical teams to work collaboratively by making it easy to share the electrical design intent for cables and conductors directly with team members using Autodesk Inventor software, adding valuable electrical controls design data to the digital prototype. Users can also publish DWF™ files directly from AutoCAD Electrical and collaborate securely on 2D and 3D designs with customers, suppliers and others outside the group.
