You can add your new symbol to the icon menu. New symbols you create are inserted with the AutoCAD Electrical toolset Insert Component or Insert Panel Component commands. Selecting the objects allows the tool to track what standard attributes and wire connection points you already inserted. Each time you re-enter the Symbol Builder tool, select objects from within the Select Symbol/Objects dialog box. The AutoCAD Wblock command writes it to disk. You can also exit the command and use regular AutoCAD commands to edit or finish the symbol you are creating. You can exit the Symbol Builder command and re-enter it at any time. They break wires upon insertion, and appear in the bill of material and various component and wire connection reports. Symbols created or converted using Symbol Builder are fully compatible with AutoCAD Electrical toolset. You can convert symbols or create custom components on the fly. However, the Inventor license must be purchased separately.Defines new AutoCAD Electrical toolset component, terminal, and panel layout library symbols. Naturally, given CAD knows how to make the technical documentation under the created drawings and to export it in popular formats.įunctions AutoCAD Electrical is limited by creation of 2D-drawings, but close integration with Autodesk Inventor, allows to build easily on their basis 3D-models.

For example, AutoCAD Electrical can make its own cable and wire connections between components and synchronize changes between design teams.

The program also has several useful automation tools.

Each of them has a properties window with a good dozen tabs and hundreds of points. Initial base AutoCAD Electrical contains any inconceivable quantity of the components used for construction of a network. You can change the tag to your own if you want to, so you can quickly find the right item in the future. It provides a quick search for the right component by category and "tag". The most useful tool which developers from Autodesk have introduced in the program - the convenient manager of components of a chain. AutoCAD Electrical supports the same specifications and standards as other software solutions in the AutoCAD "family". Being one of many versions of the popular package, AutoCAD Electrical is not much inferior to the "original" in terms of functionality, but offers several additional tools that will help you work on the drawings of electrical circuits. AutoCAD Electrical is the industry standard for electrical system design.
