Lynda - AutoCAD Electrical Essential Training (2019)

AutoCAD Electrical is a powerful AutoCAD add-on for electrical designers and engineers. It offers automated drafting tools for designing wiring, circuiting, PLC modules, panels, and more. This course provides the training to help you get up to speed with AutoCAD Electrical quickly. Instructor Shaun Bryant demos the user interface and leads you through the process of creating precise, measured electrical drawings and schematics. Learn how to design wiring diagrams, insert components and terminals, use PLC symbols in ladder diagrams, perform point-to-point wiring, create custom symbols, add annotations like title blocks to drawings, and run reports. Shaun also shows how to adjust settings and customize the built-in templates, and use the drawing update tools to reuse, copy, export, and verify drawings.
