Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical 2020: For Electrical Designers

In this example, you will create a project, add  description to the project, and create a new drawing in the project.

In this example, you will add drawings in the project, remove some drawings from the project, and replace some drawings with the drawings in the other project.

In this example, you will create a subfolder in the project and configure the drawing list display.

In this example, you will copy the existing project and add drawings to this project. You will also find the exception list and compare the settings of the drawing with the project.

In this example, you will surf a component and extract component information and connection

details of the CADCIM project to an external file using the Location View tab in the PROJECT

MANAGER.

In this example, you will insert wire numbers into a drawing file. Next, you will add wire and delete the wire using the Trim Wire tool and the Delete Wire Numbers tool.

In this example, you will create a wire type using the Create/Edit Wire Type tool and then change the wire type of a wire using the Change/Convert Wire Type tool.

In this example, you will insert a wire number and fix all wire numbers in it. You will also insert wire color/gauge labels into the drawing.

In this example, you will use the Show Wire Sequence tool to trace the wire sequence of one of the wire network in this drawing. Next, you will edit the wire sequence of this wire network using the Edit Wire Sequence tool.

In this example, you will insert a ladder into the drawing and then modify it by trimming rungs. You will also add wires between rungs.

In this example, you will stretch and revise the ladder. Also, you will add rungs to the ladder.

In this example, you will insert a three-phase ladder and also add a three-phase wire bus to the drawing.

In this example, you will set the format for reference numbers of a ladder and then insert a ladder into the drawing. Next, you will insert another ladder and insert X-Y grid labels into the drawing.

In this example, you will insert a ladder with four rungs into the drawing and then insert push buttons, relays, and pilot lights from the Insert Component dialog box. Also, you will add a description to components.

In this example, you will understand the options in the Insert/Edit Component dialog box and edit the component to add catalog information to it.

In this example, you will swap one of the component in the drawing with the other component using the Swap/Update Block tool.

In this example, you will change the symbol library setting from NFPA to JIC 125. Also, you will

swap a component of the NFPA library with a component from the JIC 125 library.

In this example, you will insert a ladder and its components into a drawing. Next, you will use the Copy Component, Scoot, Move Component, and Delete Component tools for copying, scooting, moving, and deleting the inserted components. Also, you will hide the attributes of components.

In this example, you will audit a drawing of the CADCIM project by using the Electrical Audit and Drawing Audit tools and add catalog data to a component in this drawing. You will also surf a component in the drawing.

In this example, you will create a schematic drawing. Next, you will add catalog data to one of the components and then copy it to other components. Also, you will add location data to one of the control relay and copy it to the rest of the control relays.

In this example, you will update two drawings in the CADCIM project using the Project-Wide Update Retag tool.

In this example, you will create point to point wiring diagram using connectors and multiple wire bus.

In this example, you will create point to point wiring diagram using connectors and a splice.

In this example, you will insert a user-circuit into the drawing, copy the inserted circuit, and then save the circuit.

In this example, you will configure a one-line motor circuit using the Circuit Builder tool.

In this example, you will extract schematic component list from the CADCIM project using the Schematic List tool. Next, you will insert components from the list in the panel drawings as footprints and then add nameplates to footprints.

In this example, you will edit the footprints in a panel layout and assign item numbers to them. Next, you will add balloons to footprints.

In this example, you will insert a footprint manually in the drawing file using the Manual tool. Also, you will make the Xdata of the footprint visible by using the Make Xdata Visible tool.

In this example, you will create a drawing and insert footprint in it using the User Defined List tool. Also, you will add a new library to the Panel Footprint Libraries library.

In this example, you will add a new footprint record to the footprint user defined list database file.

In this example, you will generate a schematic Bill of Material report of the CADCIM project and then insert a table into the drawing. You will then add user attribute field in the schematic Bill of Material report. Also, you will generate a schematic Component report and save the report to the Excel Spreadsheet format file.

In this example, you will generate the Panel Nameplate report for the CADCIM project and then place the report in a drawing in a tabular format. Also, you will generate the panel Component report and save it in an ASCII format file.

In this example, you will create and save the format files for schematic components and panel components of the CADCIM project. Next, you will use the Automatic Reports tool to group the format files and generate the report.

In this example, you will first insert a ladder and then a parametric PLC module into the ladder. Also, you will add empty spaces in the PLC module and then break the module to continue inserting it a few rungs later. Next, you will continue inserting the remaining part of the module into a different ladder.

In this example, you will insert a ladder into a drawing and then create a new PLC module using the PLC Database File Editor tool. Next, you will insert this new module into the ladder.

In this example, you will generate PLC drawings using the PLC I/O Utility tool. Also, you will change the default settings and save the settings in a .wdi file.

In this example, you will create a ladder and then insert a terminal symbol in it. Also, you will enter required information in the Insert / Edit Terminal Symbol dialog box.

In this example, you will insert DIN Rail in a drawing and then insert the terminal strip by extracting the terminal information from the drawing in the CADCIM project . Also, you will add information to the terminal strip.

In this example, You will change the drawing properties  for the wire numbers of a drawing and then update the wire numbers. You will also change the project properties of the CADCIM project and notice the changes taking place in the current drawing.

In this example, you will create a new drawing, set the schematic settings, insert a ladder, and save the drawing as a template file. Finally, you will create a new drawing using the template that has been created.

In this example, you will create a project description line file (.wdl) and update the title block information of the given drawing accordingly.

In this example, you will create a new block with attributes defined in it. Next, you will create a template using this block. You will also create a new drawing using this template and then set up the title block using method 1 and update the same for this drawing.
