Data Management And Reporting Tools - Autodesk AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL Brochure

Data Management and Reporting Tools

Fully integrated data management tools make it easy to
securely store and manage your work-in-process electrical
design data. AutoCAD
that instantly generate and update critical reports so you can
provide accurate information to manufacturing and save hours
on document maintenance.
Integrated Data Management
Accelerate development cycles and increase your
ROI by reusing existing designs. AutoCAD Electri-
cal includes integrated data management tools
for workgroups that securely store and manage
work-in-progress electrical design data and related
documents.
Autodesk Vault Manufacturing
®
Autodesk Vault Manufacturing software (sold
®
separately and previously known as Autodesk
Productstream ) securely stores and manages
®
engineering information, design data, and
documents, enabling you to shorten the design-to-
manufacturing process. It helps design, engineering,
and manufacturing departments across separate
locations collaborate and share Digital Prototyping
information. It also gives your design departments
advanced tools to track engineering change orders,
manage BOMs, and promote earlier collaboration
through integration with manufacturing business
systems. With support for multi-CAD environments,
Vault allows you to share and manage designs and
engineering data created with third-party software
and AutoCAD software throughout the product
®
lifecycle.
Electrical also includes built-in tools

Automatic Report Generation
Drastically reduce the time required to create and
update reports, while removing associated errors
of producing reports manually. Report generation
in AutoCAD Electrical is simple, customizable, and
gives you the option of running multiple reports
with a single command.
You can automatically generate reports that cover
bills of material (BOM), from/to wire lists, PLC I/O,
terminal plans, cable summaries, and cross-referenc-
ing reports.
Customize reports to display relevant information
by sorting and filtering available fields, which can
be run on a current drawing, collection of draw-
ings, the entire project, or a specific location or
panel. Place reports into a drawing as a smart table
object that can be easily updated later or saved to a
file. AutoCAD Electrical supports saving reports in
ASCII, Microsoft Excel , Microsoft
® ®
or XML formats.
Surfable Reports
Navigate reports and their corresponding designs
with the surfable reports feature. When you place
reports into a design as a table, you can click the
various fields to instantly find the corresponding
devices in the schematics or panel layout drawings.
Drawing List Report
AutoCAD Electrical can extract a list of project
drawings that lists drawing numbers, titles, dates,
revisions, and other important data. Create a list of
data extracted from the project drawing title blocks
and save to file, print, or insert it into a drawing.
