AutoCAD Electrical 2008 Top Reasons to Move from AutoCAD AutoCAD Electrical 2008 What’s New Name Company AMS CAD Solutions http://www.amsystems.com
AutoCAD Electrical 2008What is it? • Intelligent electrical controls design • Fully native DWG • Open and extendable • The only logical choice for electrical controls design
Benefits of Electrical CADProvide accurate control system designs in less time Design more accurately in less time • Comprehensive symbol library based on International standards • Real time error checking and alerts • Build smart panel layout drawings based on schematic contents Re-use designs and rapidly respond to customer changes • Automatically update title blocks project wide • Instantly renumber wires and components • Copy and paste circuits with automatic updates Ship your products on time • Eliminate costly design errors before they hit the shop floor • Automatically generate accurate wire labels to expedite the build phase • Automatic Bill of Material reports ensure all parts are ordered
Reason 1Comprehensive Symbol Libraries • Customer Need • To quickly build standards based controls designs • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Symbol libraries based on International standards • JIC, IEC, GB, JIS, AUS • Automated insert component process
Reason 2Automatic Wire Numbering and Component Tagging • Customer Need • Unique wire numbers and component tags • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Referenced or sequential based numbering • Flexible numbering formats • Automatically adds a suffix to duplicates
Reason 3Automatic Project Reports • Customer Need • Instant and accurate reports • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Reports include • Bill of Materials • From/To Wire Lists • Cable Lists • Terminal Reports • Much More… • Multiple report generation with a single command • Flexible export options
Reason 4Real Time Error Checking • Customer Need • To eliminate design errors before build phase begins • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Design audit and repair utility • Automatic notification of • Duplicates • Resolution suggestions
Reason 5Real Time Coil and Contact Cross-Referencing • Customer Need • Error free use of relays • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Automatic tracking of relay coils and contacts • Updates to all related devices • Alerts when number of contacts are exceeded • Flexible display formats
Reason 6Create Smart Panel Layout Drawings • Customer Need • Panel layout drawings that match the corresponding schematic design • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Panel layout drawings driven by schematic content • Link between schematic and panel components • Changes to one automatically update the other
Reason 7Electrical Specific Drafting Features • Customer Need • Slash design time using commands specifically for electrical controls designers • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers Specialized features such as: • Trim wire • Copy and delete component or circuit • Scoot and align components
Reason 8Automatic PLC I/O Drawings • Customer Need • Eliminate redundant tasks involved in designing a PLC I/O system • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Automatic PLC I/O drawing generation from a spreadsheet • PLC I/O address and description report exported to PLC program 1
Reason 9Share Drawings and Track Changes • Customer Need • Easily share drawings withdownstream users • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • DWG files compatible with downstream AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT users • Ability to track and report changes
Reason 10Reuse Existing Drawings • Customer Need • Easily reuse a specific part or an entire drawing set when starting a new design • AutoCAD Electrical Delivers • Reuse commonly used circuits for use in future designs • Automatically renumbers wires and devices to the configuration of the new project • Retag all components in a project with a single command
