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
5. AUTOCAD VS AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL
AUTOCAD
• AutoCAD is a drafting software used
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 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.
6. BENEFITS OF AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL
