Collaboration And Interoperability - Autodesk AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL Brochure

Collaboration and Interoperability

The sharing of accurate design data between AutoCAD
Electrical and other Autodesk
and mechanical teams to smoothly collaborate on digital
prototypes.
Link to the Cable and Harness Functionality of
Autodesk Inventor Professional
® ®
Quickly create accurate 2D and 3D electrical control
designs using the bi-directional interoperability
between AutoCAD Electrical and Autodesk
®
tor Professional software. Pass electrical intent
®
information for cables and conductors from Auto-
CAD Electrical to Autodesk Inventor Professional to
automatically create a 3D harness design. And, pass
wire-connectivity information from Autodesk Inven-
tor Professional to AutoCAD Electrical to automati-
cally create the corresponding 2D schematics.
Share Drawings and Track Changes
Easily exchange data with customers or suppliers in
native DWG™ format. AutoCAD Electrical drawings
can be viewed and edited by any DWG-compatible
program such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD
ware. With the built-in AutoCAD Electrical revision
tracking functionality, you can track all changes
made to your drawings since the last update, no
matter how many people accessed them.

Multiuser Environment
Collaborate more effectively and increase produc-
tivity while sharing projects within workgroups.
AutoCAD Electrical control design software pro-
vides drawing status indicators and better control
of project-wide commands to improve efficiency in
multi-user environments.
Publish Designs on the Web
AutoCAD Electrical makes it easy to share designs
with your extended enterprise by publishing either
individual drawings or entire projects on the web.
AutoCAD Electrical creates the HTML pages as well
as the links you need to post your complete design
to the web.
DWF Tools
Publish DWF files directly from Autodesk manufac-
™
turing design applications, and securely collaborate
on 2D and 3D designs with customers, suppliers, plan-
ners, and others outside your engineering workgroup.
Using free* Autodesk Design Review software, team
®
members can digitally review, measure, mark-up, and
comment on your 2D and 3D designs while protect-
ing your intellectual property. Tight integration with
Autodesk manufacturing products enables accurate
communication of design information, including
assembly instructions, bills of material (BOMs), and
finite element analysis (FEA) results without requiring
CAD expertise. Autodesk Design Review software
automatically tracks comments and their status,
and the DWF-based markups can be round-tripped,
helping speed the revision process and minimize
information loss.
*Free products are subject to the terms and condi-
tions of the end-user license agreement that accom-
panies download of the software.
