Standards-Based Drafting And Component Libraries - Autodesk AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL Brochure

Standards-Based Drafting and Component Libraries

AutoCAD Electrical supports international standards and
provides comprehensive libraries of manufacturer content
and symbols, enabling users to easily create standards-based
designs that comply with industry requirements.
Extensive Manufacturers'
Catalog Content
Use real manufacturers' catalog data to streamline
the design process. AutoCAD Electrical comes with a
manufacturers' catalog database that contains more
than 650,000 components and symbols from the
industry's most popular vendors. These components
provide a full spectrum of input and output (I/O)
devices, including switches, sensors, lights, and
numerous panel devices, such as wireway and panel
enclosures.
Electrical Component Libraries
Easily select commonly used devices to quickly
create electrical control systems designs. AutoCAD
Electrical provides a simple menu-driven system
for inserting electrical devices. Each menu provides
access to a comprehensive symbol library that in-
cludes push buttons, selector switches, pilot lights,
relays, contacts, fuses, terminals, and more.
Support for Multiple Design Standards
Meet your customers' design requirements with
support for the JIC, IEC, JIS, and GB international
standards. Select symbol libraries, cross-reference
settings, wire and device tagging conventions, and
much more to meet geographic design require-
ments.
User-Defined Attributes
Add custom attributes to AutoCAD Electrical sym-
bols and have their contents available in any project
reports. Easily communicate company-specific design
data by using newly defined metadata to extract
information for standard reports.
Symbol Builder
Guide and manage the creation and conversion of
AutoCAD
cal symbols. Built on top of the AutoCAD Block
Editor, the Symbol Builder helps create electrical
symbols and black boxes that conform to the Auto-
CAD Electrical architecture.
Multidiscipline Symbol Libraries
Quickly generate accurate pneumatic, hydraulic,
and piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID)
schematics. The comprehensive symbol libraries
include devices such as valves, operators, manifolds,
meters, regulators, filters, and more.
