Course Description

AutoCAD Electrical
Difference between CAD and CADE (CAD Electrical):-
Tells about the basic advantages of AutoCAD electrical over normal CAD.
Different types of wires and wire layers:-
This session is the first step for an electrical engineer to get into ACADE.
Inserting components from CAD library:-
Must know function to set component scale and rotation angle.
Source and destination arrows:-
This is one of the most useful features in AutoCAD Electrical, which enables to do easy wire cross referencing (From and To).
Creating intelligent title blocks with ladder cross referencing:-
Many times people do manual editing in each title block individually and with thorough understanding in "title block" function within ACADE one can do the changes in all sheets in one go.
Component and source destination arrow cross referencing:-
In electrical circuits we use parent and child components (eg. Coil and Contacts of a relay) in different parts of a project. In order to study and read one circuit it is always necessary to trace the locations of all the parts of one component. This automatic cross referencing is another major advantage of ACADE.
Project Manager functions:-
Managing a project in proper way is as important as creating a set of drawings. This skill makes you a perfect professional design engineer.
How to create new symbols and user circuits:-
The more and more you use ACADE, you may require more components and circuits which is not there in the standard CAD library. By creating new standard user circuits and symbols you will become master of this art.
NEMA and IEC electrical circuit:-
These are the two major standards which normally use to design electrical circuits. In this session we will use both the standards to design the same circuit and will spot the difference.
Finally we will do one sample project covering Single Line Diagram, Panel Layouts, Cable tray layouts, Room layouts, Schematic (Wiring) diagram and generating Bill of Materials.

Its fine but instructor should tell about much needed command

By david ball Ball on 10/26/2020

hard to understand and follow at times

By Raymond Ryckman on 10/22/2020

The instructor is very knowledgeable. He shows in detail how to draw in ACAD Electrical. I have learned a lot.

By Diogenes Macias on 10/21/2020

So far it has been helpful in getting the basics down.

By Saravana Kumar on 10/12/2020

- Not mentioned about . If we by Mistake delete the component by delete button . How to clear that error from the drawing . Because When I try to place two NO component in the wire line . I by mistake deleted one of the NO. When I try to place it again ,its not letting me to do . It say already used the 2nd NO contact ,but i have deleted by mistake .
- No fresh start of building the Title block . Shown from building from existing .
- No details about building of new source/destination pointers
- Need more detail on the wire Tagging . Not mentioned about wire tag number by reference of the Component.
- Not covered the Electrical Audit and the Drawing Audit.
The package is for just the basic idea about AutoCAD electrical . Not for up to the expert level as mentioned in title .

So far so good.

By Nick on 9/4/2020

Thick accent it would be nice to have a CC option but very useful

By Eneza Mnzava on 8/18/2020

Its a good course and much applicable in my carrier.
Thanks
