Includes most symbols in well defined blocks with attributes in the JIS, NEMA, and IEC standards. The new LISP editor allows the user to write and debug scripts without reloading the script each time. Automatic wire tagging and re-tagging takes the grind out of renumbering wires when a component is added. Coil and contact association is automatically created next to the rung to improve readability. Backwards compatible with previous versions of AutoCAD. Import/Export from PDF or to other software is carried out with a good degree of fidelity. Interoperability of Autodesk Inventor allows seamless ECAD/MCAD integration for automated machine design. > > **Cons**: Does not simulate industrial control panels (i.e. what happens when a fuse blows or a field input device changes states). This functionality is available in lower-priced software. Some functions used in basic AutoCAD do not work in AutoCAD Electrical. Often user or vendor defined blocks do not behave correctly with wire routing (point to point) connections. For example, a block for a VFD or timer relay often requires a significant amount of modification to fix wiring/connection issues. Pricing for this product has steadily increased over the years, without equivalent improvements to the software. Error reporting rarely results in a solution from Autodesk. > > Support for AutoCAD Electrical has always been excellent from both Autodesk and the local resellers. Training is usually free and ranges in complexity. The software is focused to provide solutions to real-world industrial control systems and IC/PCB documentation. ----- ### "Made for Electrical Engineers" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *6 December 2021* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All in one software, you can do your schematics, Bill of materials, General arrangement drawings, all these connected. You change something in the schematic it auto update the Bill of Materials. You can can also lonk catalogues from suppliers. > > **Cons**: Licencing is a bit price compared to other software. > > I have managed to deliver high quality designs for my customers in short periods of time. Once the system is configured it's easy to use. Every detail of the design can be clearly shown on the schematics, from terminals to labels, and this reduce built time by 50% because of the level of detailing AutoCad Electrical allows to show. ----- ### "Easy to design electrical schematics with more accuracy" — 3.0/5 > **Hithesh** | *27 April 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: User interface is user friendly,easy to learn and electrical circuit schematics are done perfectly. DWF files can be generated instantly from AutoCad Electrical > > **Cons**: Not helpful in 3D environment usage, there is a limitations in routing of wires. > > Good Electrical schematics design tool with simplified user interface. Perfect for designing electrical circuit. ----- ### "The reason to have AutoCAD Electrical" — 5.0/5 > **Zibusisozenkosi** | *11 March 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: AutoCAD Electrical is fun and I like that it because it is specific and has the specific tools for which are right for the job. > > **Cons**: the interface has a lot off tools and commands which makes it hard for the user to get used to the programs. > > I had a bout 25 projects that I have personally done with AutoCAD . ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/179916/autocad-electrical?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/179916/autocad-electrical) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
