Design and Drafting Productivity Tools
Multiple Drawing Interface Aware
Simultaneously view and edit multiple drawings at
once. AutoCAD Electrical fully supports the multiple
document interface (MDI) standard, allowing you to
have multiple drawings open at one time. Now you
can cut and paste design information between two
open drawings without having to close one of them.
Multiple Wire Insert
By enabling designers to insert multiple wires with a
single command, AutoCAD Electrical automates the
process of connecting devices with several connec-
tion points. And, faster design helps ensure that your
projects stay within budget—and on time.
New Drawing Command
With a single click of a button, you can begin a new
drawing and know that AutoCAD Electrical is fully
aware of the current project settings. After you
choose a template with the appropriate title block
and drawing border, the new drawing automatically
becomes part of the active project and you are ready
to start inserting devices.
Swap Block Utility
Save hours of rework by quickly replacing each
instance of a symbol throughout a project. Swap
instances of a block or an individual symbol wherever
it is used in a project. You can even swap symbols for
an entire project between two symbol libraries. For
example, if you need to change the standard used in a
project, just run this command to automatically swap
each JIC device out with its IEC equivalent.
Retagging Components
Reduce design time and help eliminate errors by
retagging all components in a project with a single
command. This single command enables users to
change the format of component tags during a proj-
ect to accommodate customer changes on the fly.
