The AutoCAD Electrical Advantage

Facing these issues?

• Creating electrical controls designs

with generic sotware is limiting your

productivity.

• Errors reaching the shop oor are causing

delivery delays.

• Components are not being ordered

because o inaccurate bills o materials

(BOMs).

• Manually adding electrical controls

inormation into 2D or 3D mechanicaldesigns is tedious.

• Sharing designs with downstream users

is error-prone and difcult.

• Designers are spending too much time

manually generating reports.

• Use o design standards is inconsistent.

• Designers are unable to easily nd

and reuse designs.

Discover why so many electricalcontrols designers are usingAutoCAD Electrical.

Take advantage o an application that deliversthe tools needed to design and modiy electrical

controls aster and more accurately than ever

beore: AutoCAD® Electrical sotware, the leading

2D application built specically to create and

modiy electrical controls designs. AutoCAD

Electrical enables users to increase design

productivity, reduce errors, automate key control

systems design tasks, and acilitate collaboration—

all while maintaining a smooth integration with

the AutoCAD® environment you’re amiliar with

today. Stay ahead o the competition with AutoCAD

Electrical—the only logical choice or electrical

controls design.

Increase Your ProductivityWhen engineers create electrical controls desig

using sotware not specically built or electric

design tasks, they must oten nd manual

workarounds to get the job done. These manua

workarounds waste valuable design time and li

productivity. Since AutoCAD Electrical sotwar

is purpose-built, it automates many o the man

tasks associated with creating accurate designs

allowing more time or designing and engineer

AutoCAD Electrical enables both electrical and

mechanical teams to work collaboratively by m

it easy to share the electrical intent rom the

controls design in AutoCAD Electrical with ma

other Autodesk®

applications.

Until now, electrical controls designers have relied on genericsotware applications to get their job done. This can be problemati

because they require manual layout o electrical schematics, otenntroduce design errors, and provide no simple way to share designnormation—a combination that ultimately can cost your company

time and money.



Reduce Errors and Inconsistencies

s engineers create electrical controls designs

sing generic tools, it’s easy to introduce errors

nd design inconsistencies. Minimizing these errors

rom the design process beore they reach thehop oor provides a distinct advantage over the

ompetition—it can mean the dierence between

uccess and ailure o a project. AutoCAD Electrical

ncludes automatic error-checking capabilities that

elp designers avoid errors in real time and catch

roblems beore the build phase o a project. In

ddition to reducing errors, AutoCAD Electrical

elps companies reduce costs by oering support

or local and international standards. AutoCAD

lectrical also provides a comprehensive library o

manuacturer content, enabling users to produce

tandards-based designs using a consistent set

manuacturer components. In the end, using

utoCAD Electrical helps companies reduce costs

nd stay ahead o the competition.

Automate Reporting Tasks

Once a design is complete, it’s time to share the

design and its associated inormation with the

teams responsible or ordering parts, building the

control panel, and running the wires. Creatingcrucial reports such as parts lists, bills o materials,

and rom/to wire lists by hand is error-prone and

time consuming. When using traditional methods o

creating reports, even the smallest design change

can lead to errors that could result in delivery

delays to the customer. To help your company

prevent costly delays, AutoCAD Electrical includes

robust, automated reporting tools so the design

data being shared with downstream users is

correct and up-to-date with the latest inormation.

AutoCAD Electrical also includes comprehensive

manuacturer content libraries that give users the

ability to speciy components rom a consistent set

o manuacturer content, helping to urther reduce

purchasing costs by acilitating volume pricing with

vendors or common items.
