About Panel Layouts

AutoCAD Electrical places no requirements on special naming or attribute

requirements on mechanical footprint symbols. This means that vendor

supplied footprint symbols, in AutoCAD format, can be used as is with

AutoCAD Electrical.

Using the AutoCAD Electrical Panel Layout tools, you can select from a list

of schematic components and then place the footprint component directly

into a panel layout. Once placed, the footprint remains linked to the original

schematic components. This allows for bidirectional updating between

schematic components and the associated footprint blocks.

For this exercise, use the Panel Layout tools:

You are now ready to select the components to insert on the panel layout.
