Description
AutoCAD Electrical has always been a great tool for engineers and designers to deliver professional work. It is the most popular software of choice for designing and developing professional electrical drawings, PLC diagrams, control and power circuits, and mechanical drawing in any industry.
In this comprehensive course, you will learn all about the AutoCAD Electrical toolset and toolbar options which helps you design PLC modules, panels, control cabinets, wiring diagrams, and more. We will learn how to create accurate and standards schematics and electrical drawings step by step.
Forough Jahangard is a professional Electrical engineer with years of experience both in the industry and academic setting. She will be showing you how to design ladder diagrams, wiring, develop custom symbols and add annotations to your drawing. You will learn how to create title blocks and run reports professionally. PLC symbols and creating automatic ladder diagrams is one of the most useful features in AutoCAD electrical that you will get the chance to master in this course.
The content of this course is being constantly updated and the other needed sections will be added.

- How to use Wire gap and tee marker is presented
- Checking wire or tracing the wire is the other helpful part that provides the method to reduce the mistakes of your drawing
Ladders
This is an essential tool that is commonly used during drafting.
- Creating ladders
- Adding Rungs
- Modifying ladders and scooting
Drawing Shapes and how to use the status bar
- How to draw new shapes such as circle, rectangle, and so on, learning this part can be helpful for creating new symbols in the next sections
- Working with the status bar is another useful option to facilitate the procedure of drawing
Components

Symbols
the useful feature in AutoCAD electrical when a symbol is not available in the icon menu and you need to create a new symbol to use in your drawing
- You will learn how to create new symbols and add new symbols to the icon menu
Title Blocks
- You will learn How to edit or update your title block automatically instead of editing it manually
Report
– How to prepare a report of your circuit including information on the components
– Using missing catalog data tool to display the catalog data which is missed
– How to use an Electrical audit tool to detect the problems of incomplete components or wires
– Using dwg audit tool to detect the errors related to wire connections
