Standards-Based Drafting & Component Libraries

Easily create standards-based designs that comply with industry requirements using AutoCAD® Electrical control design software. It supports international standards and provides comprehensive libraries of manufacturer content and symbols.

Extensive Manufacturers’ Catalogue Content
Use real manufacturers’ catalogue data to streamline the design process. AutoCAD Electrical comes with a manufacturers’ catalogue database that contains more than 650,000 components and symbols from the industry’s most popular vendors. These components provide a full spectrum of input and output (I/O) devices, including switches, sensors, lights, and numerous panel devices, such as wireway and panel enclosures.

Select commonly used devices from the Electrical Component Libraries within AutoCAD Electrical.

Electrical Component Libraries
Easily select commonly used devices to quickly create electrical control systems designs. AutoCAD Electrical provides a simple menu-driven system for inserting electrical devices. Each menu provides access to a comprehensive symbol library that includes push buttons, selector switches, pilot lights, relays, contacts, fuses, terminals, and more.

The Symbol Builder helps create electrical symbols and black boxes that conform to the AutoCAD Electrical architecture.

Symbol Builder
Guide and manage the creation and conversion of AutoCAD® software blocks into intelligent AutoCAD Electrical symbols. Built on top of the AutoCAD Block Editor, the Symbol Builder helps create electrical symbols and black boxes that conform to the AutoCAD Electrical architecture.

Generate accurate P&ID schematics with Multidiscipline Symbol Libraries within AutoCAD Electrical.

Multidiscipline Symbol Libraries
Quickly generate accurate pneumatic, hydraulic, and piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) schematics. The comprehensive symbol libraries include devices such as valves, operators, manifolds, meters, regulators, filters, and more.

Support for Multiple Design Standards
Meet your customers’ design requirements with support for the JIC, IEC, JIS, and GB international standards. Select symbol libraries, cross-reference settings, wire and device tagging conventions, and much more to meet geographic design requirements.
