3. What is AutoCAD..?
AutoCAD is a drafting software used by engineers and architects for 2-D, 3-D
drafting of houses, schematics, mechanical, electrical devices and it is a substitute
for pen & paper used for decades. Designs can created quickly using the AutoCAD
and it is also widely used stand alone software for designing. AutoCAD is also very
helpful for clothing, landscape designer basically whosever needs things to be
drawn electronically, easily and quickly use AutoCAD.
4. AutoCAD Electrical
What is it?
Intelligent electrical controls design
Fully native DWG
Open and extendable
The only logical choice for electrical controls design

AutoCAD Electrical
AutoCAD has special software, AutoCAD
Electrical which is used by electrical
engineers for designing electrical panels,
wiring system, control panels and
programmable logical controllers I/O
designs. There are many other features
which make this software popular among
electrical engineers for designing.
