Duration
AutoCAD Electrical Essential Training
3 days
Overview
AutoCAD Electrical Essential Training is designed to give you a solid understanding of the latest AutoCAD Electrical features and capabilities. This training are for new users who require comprehensive training in AutoCAD Electrical software. You'll follow a workflow-based approach that mirrors the development of projects in the real world, learning the steps to wire components together, editing Ladder Diagrams, working with connectors and circuits, using Wiring Diagrams, creating and editing Reports, and creating your own symbols to use in the drawings. Hands-on exercises throughout the courseware explore how to create electrical-controls production drawings.
Objective
- Navigate the AutoCAD Electrical user interface.
- Use the fundamental features of AutoCAD Electrical.
- Build intelligent ladder diagrams and panel layouts.
- Create, view, and edit the project settings and properties.
- Extract data from drawings into reports formatted to match users’ standards.
- Insert and edit parametric PLC modules, nonparametric PLC modules, and stand- alone PLC I/O points.
Prerequisite
You do not need any previous experience with AutoCAD Electrical to take this course; however, it does assume a reasonable level of experience with the Windows operating system on your part. While not absolutely necessary, some experience with other CAD software is helpful
