Having AutoCAD at its core, the product bundles the same engine, on top of which a generous set of electrical design features has been implemented. A best seller on the electrical software market, AutoCAD Electrical targets an audience made of students, as well as electrical engineers and designers.

It steps in with a modern and intuitive design, although preserving the professional interface approach specific to Autodesk. The disposal of its features inside the GUI makes it easy to explore and to experiment with, saving the huge amount of time that similar applications take to understand.

Its most appreciated highlights include interactive circuit design, schematics management and a huge database of electrical components that is just a delight for any electrical engineer.

The parts are accompanied by predefined labels and power related data, which are automatically updated depending on the circuit being designed.

Alternatively, engineers can make use of the Circuit Builder to create electrical systems interactively, via a series of dialogs which are complemented by various recommendations and tips.

AutoCAD Electrical also benefits from a real-time error checker that verifies the circuit for various problems. Also, errors can be minimized via the automatic numbering feature that besides ensuring a lower error rate, saves huge amounts of time.

Also worth mentioning is the feature that allows for a seamless collaboration with suppliers and customers, by easily sharing drawing files throughout the design process.

On an ending note, AutoCAD Electrical is an excellent approach to electrical CAD design, sporting the essential components that engineers need in order to create cutting edge systems.
