The AutoCAD Electrical training guide covers the indispensable core topics for working with the AutoCAD Electrical software.
Explore AutoCAD Electrical’s specialist tools for creating electrical drawings.
Create ladder-logic and point-to-point schematics, panel layouts and PLC-I/O circuits. Practise automated symbol insertion, component tagging, wire numbering and drawing changes, then explore custom symbols, circuits and databases.
Other topics covered include title block linking, reporting tools, templates, and project files.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understanding project files
- Creating and editing schematic and panel drawings
- Working with PLC symbols
- Creating custom symbols
- Generating reports
