    Error Checking and Prevention

    AutoCAD Electrical sotware includes automatic error-checking capabilities that help designers perorm real-timediagnostics to catch problems beore the build phase o a

    project.

    Automatic Wire Numbering and

    omponent Tagging

    pending long hours manually assigning wire

    umbers and component tags is a thing o the past,

    s are the potential errors inherent in that process.

    utoCAD Electrical drating sotware automatically

    laces sequential or reerence-based numbers on

    ll wires and components, based on the congura-

    on you choose. Reerence-based numbers and tagsutomatically get a sux when necessary so that

    ames are unique and the sotware can renumber

    he entities as the design requirements change. This

    umbering convention is fexible enough to meet

    early any design requirement.

    n addition, i AutoCAD Electrical determines that

    n inserted wire number will bump into some-

    hing, it automatically searches laterally along the

    wire or a clear spot to place the wire number. I

    hat ails, it searches or a clear spot away rom the

    wire. When it nds one, it places the number and

    utomatically draws a leader back to the wire.

    eal-Time Error Checkingvoid costly errors at build time

    y catching and removing errors

    uring design. AutoCAD Electri-

    al drating sotware constantly

    ompares the requested changes

    with the current project and

    lerts you to potential errors

    uch as duplicated wire numbers

    r component tags as they occur.

    Real-Time Coil and Contact Cross-Reerencing

    Signicantly reduce the risk o costly mistakes as-

    sociated with assigning too many contacts to a relay.

    AutoCAD Electrical sets up a parent/child relation-

    ship between the two and keeps track o how many

    contacts are assigned to any given coil or multi-

    contact device. When you exceed the limit, you get

    an alert.

    Another benet o this eature is the ability to assign

    the next available set o terminal pin numbers to each

    inserted child contact, based on the pin list proper-

    ties o the parent coil. Display cross-reerencing

    inormation in almost any ormat on the drawings,

    and run cross-reerencing reports at any time.

    Electrical Audit Report

    Missing or incorrect wire numbers can cause major

    headaches. Use the audit report unction to analyze

    and report such design anomalies so you can correct

    them beore they reach manuacturing.

    Design and Drating Productivity Tools

    AutoCAD Electrical sotware oers controls designersmmediate productivity gains with a complete set o specialize

    eatures and tools developed specically or the creation o

    accurate, industry-standard electrical control systems.

    treamlined Design Environment

    utoCAD Electrical eatures a streamlined user

    nterace. Find your avorite tools and commands

    aster, locate lesser-used tools more eciently, and

    iscover relevant new eatures more easily. The result

    less time searching through menus and toolbars,

    nd more time getting your work done.

    ircuit Builder

    educe design time and increase drating eciencyy automating the creation o controls circuits.

    ynamically generate rules-based controls circuits

    ased on dening unctional requirements, such as

    omponents, wiring, ratings, and catalog data.

    he Circuit Builder tool gives you the necessary inor-

    mation to help you make sound engineering decisions

    hat are also environmentally green. For example,

    he conductor size that meets the minimum code

    equirements may be the least expensive to purchase,

    ut it may not provide the best long-term energy and

    ost savings.

    ircuit Builder providesynamic display o worst-

    ase energy loss costs

    or a range o conductor

    zes against various

    nstallation and ambient

    actors. Suggested wire

    onductor sizing can be

    utomatically calculated

    ased upon an electrical

    ode requirement.

    Make better design decisions based on de-rating ac-

    tors such as wire material type, insulation tempera-

    ture rating, ambient temperature, run length, power

    conductor bundling and maximum allowable voltage

    drop. Circuit Builder can also suggest use, breaker,

    and disconnect ratings based upon motor or power

    eed load.

    Reuse Circuits

    Slash design time by reusing common circuits.

    AutoCAD Electrical gives users the ability to buildcommonly used circuits once and then save them or

    reuse in uture designs. When you place a saved cir-

    cuit into a new design, AutoCAD Electrical automati-

    cally renumbers the wires and devices in the circuit

    to match the conguration o the current drawing or

    project.

    One-Line Diagrams or Motor Control

    Quickly create and edit one-line circuit representa-

    tions that can then help drive accurate annotation o

    three-line schematic circuit equivalents.

    Building on the popular Circuit Builder tool or

    three-phase motor control, AutoCAD Electrical now

    enables you to interactively create one-line motor cir-

    cuit and power eed representations. One-line circuitrepresentations can help drive three-line schematic

    circuit generation and vice versa.

    imultaneously view and edit multiple drawings at

    nce. AutoCAD Electrical ully supports the multiple

    ocument interace (MDI) standard, allowing you to

    ave multiple drawings open at one time. Now you

    an cut and paste design inormation between two

    pen drawings without having to close one o them.

    Multiple Wire Insert

    y enabling designers to insert multiple wires with a

    ngle command, AutoCAD Electrical automates the

    rocess o connecting devices with several connec-on points. And, aster design helps ensure that your

    rojects stay within budgetand on time.

    New Drawing Command

    With a single click o a button, you can begin a new

    drawing and know that AutoCAD Electrical is ully

    aware o the current project settings. Ater you

    choose a template with the appropriate title block

    and drawing border, the new drawing automatically

    becomes part o the active project and you are ready

    to start inserting devices.

    Swap Block Utility

    Save hours o rework by quickly replacing each

    instance o a symbol throughout a project. Swap

    instances o a block or an individual symbol wherever

    it is used in a project. You can even swap symbols or

    an entire project between two symbol libraries. For

    example, i you need to change the standard used in a

    project, just run this command to automatically swap

    each JIC device out with its IEC equivalent.

    Retagging Components

    Reduce design time and help eliminate errors by

    retagging all components in a project with a single

    command. This single command enables users to

    change the ormat o component tags during a proj-

    ect to accommodate customer changes on the fy.

    onto another, you can connect them electronically

    using the source and destination signals.

    Cable and Conductor Tracking

    Easily manage cable and conductor usage in Au-

    toCAD Electrical projects with automatic tracking

    capabilities. Designate individual wires as belonging

    to a cable, and then generate reports based on cable

    usage or abrication purposes. Similar to inserting

    components, when you assign manuacturer partnumber inormation to cables, AutoCAD Electrical

    automatically tracks and reports conductor usage

    based on that part number.

    Panel Layout Tools

    Quickly and easily create panel layout drawings withntelligent updating to reduce errors.

    reate Smart Panel Layout Drawings

    rom Electrical Schematics

    sing AutoCAD Electrical to create panel layout

    rawings gives you a systematic means o checking

    hat no devices are missed and makes an electronic

    nk between the representation o the device in the

    chematic and panel drawings.

    eres how it works: Once you have created an elec-

    rical schematic, the sotware extracts a list o sche-

    matic components or placement in the panel layoutrawings. You simply choose a device rom the list

    nd drag it into place. The physical ootprint rep-

    esentation o each schematic device is inserted into

    he layout at the point you select. Then the sotware

    reates an electronic link between the schematic and

    anel device representations. So when you change

    ey data on one drawing, you get a prompt or

    ermission to update the other. Even non-schematic

    ems like wire duct and mounting hardware can be

    dded to the layout and automatically combined to

    reate a smart panel bill o materials (BOM) report.

    Starting Designs with a Panel Layout Drawing

    AutoCAD Electrical provides a fexible design envi-

    ronment that works the way you want to work. You

    can start designs by creating a panel layout drawing

    and using it to drive the creation o the correspond-

    ing logical control schematics. This eature gives you

    the boost you need or tight turnaround times and

    supports the needs o individual designers.

    Location Boxes and Markers

    Quickly and easily associate groups o devices witha specic panel location using the Location Box

    command. Apply location markers on the schematic

    that represent the corresponding panel location. This

    capability makes it easy to identiy locations or a

    device or group o devices, resulting in more accurate

    panel layouts.

    Insert Balloons on Panel Devices

    Save time by automatically annotating control panel

    drawings with intelligent item balloons that coincide

    with the panel BOM.

    nd manuacturing departments across separate

    ocations collaborate and share Digital Prototyping

    normation. It also gives your design departments

    dvanced tools to track engineering change orders,

    manage BOMs, and promote earlier collaboration

    hrough integration with manuacturing business

    ystems. With support or multi-CAD environments,ault allows you to share and manage designs and

    ngineering data created with third-party sotware

    nd AutoCAD sotware throughout the product

    ecycle.

    Automatic Report Generation

    Drastically reduce the time required to create and

    update reports, while removing associated errors

    o producing reports manually. Report generation

    in AutoCAD Electrical is simple, customizable, and

    gives you the option o running multiple reports

    bills o material (BOM), rom/to wire lists, PLC I/O,

    terminal plans, cable summaries, and cross-reerenc-

    ing reports.

    Customize reports to display relevant inormation

    by sorting and ltering available elds, which can

    be run on a current drawing, collection o draw-

    ings, the entire project, or a specic location or

    panel. Place reports into a drawing as a smart table

    object that can be easily updated later or saved to a

    le. AutoCAD Electrical supports saving reports in

    ASCII, Microsot Excel, Microsot Access, CSV,

    or XML ormats.

    Surable Reports

    Navigate reports and their corresponding designs

    with the surable reports eature. When you place

    reports into a design as a table, you can click the

    various elds to instantly nd the corresponding

    devices in the schematics or panel layout drawings.

    Drawing List Report

    AutoCAD Electrical can extract a list o project

    drawings that lists drawing numbers, titles, dates,

    revisions, and other important data. Create a list o

    data extracted rom the project drawing title blocks

    and save to le, print, or insert it into a drawing.
