AutoCAD Electrical 2017 (R1): Fundamentals with NFPA Standards
AutoCAD Training Overview

The AutoCAD® Electrical 2017 (R1): Fundamentals with NFPA Standards student guide covers the indispensable core topics for working with the AutoCAD® Electrical software. In this student guide, you will learn how to use many of the powerful electrical drawing creation tools in the AutoCAD Electrical software. You will create schematic drawings (ladder logic and point to point), panel drawings, and PLC-I/O circuits using automated commands for symbol insertion, component tagging, wire numbering, and drawing modification. In addition, you are introduced to methods of customizing AutoCAD Electrical symbols, circuits, and databases. Other topics covered include titleblock linking, reporting tools, templates, and project files.

AutoCAD Training Topics

  • Understanding project files
  • Creating and editing schematic and panel drawings
  • Working with PLC symbols
  • Creating custom symbols
  • Generating reports
Prerequisites:

Before taking this course, students need to have a good working knowledge of the AutoCAD® software and electrical terminology.
