AutoCAD Electrical
The AutoCAD Electrical training guide covers the indispensable core topics for working with the AutoCAD Electrical software.
In this training guide, student will learn how to use many of the powerful electrical drawing creation tools in the AutoCAD Electrical software.
Students create schematic drawings (Ladder logic and point to point), panel drawings, and PLC-I/O circuits using automated commands for symbol insertion, component tagging, wire number, and drawing modification. In addition, students are introduced to methods of customizing AutoCAD Electrical symbols, circuits, and databases.
Other topics covered include title block linking, reporting tools, templates, and project files.
