AutoCAD Electrical

Data Management & Reporting Tools

AutoCAD® Electrical design software includes built-in tools that instantly generate and update critical reports so you can reduce errors, provide accurate information to manufacturing, and save hours on document maintenance. Fully integrated data management tools make it easy to securely store and manage your work-in-process electrical design data.

Reduce the time it takes to create and update reports with automatic report generation functionality within AutoCAD Electrical.

Automatic Report Generation
Drastically reduce the time required to create and update reports, while removing associated errors of producing reports manually. Report generation in AutoCAD Electrical is simple, customisable, and gives you the option of running multiple reports with a single command.

You can automatically generate reports that cover bills of material (BOM), from/to wire lists, PLC I/O, terminal plans, cable summaries, and cross-referencing reports.

Customise reports to display relevant information by sorting and filtering available fields, which can be run on a current drawing, collection of drawings, the entire project, or a specific location or panel. Place reports into a drawing as a smart table object that can be easily updated later or saved to a file. AutoCAD Electrical supports saving reports in ASCII, Microsoft® Excel®, Microsoft® Access™, CSV, or XML formats.

Navigate reports and their corresponding designs with the surfable reports feature within AutoCAD Electrical.

Surfable Reports
Navigate reports and their corresponding designs with the surfable reports feature. When you place reports into a design as a table, you can click the various fields to instantly find the corresponding devices in the schematics or panel layout drawings.

Drawing List Report
AutoCAD Electrical can extract a list of project drawings that lists drawing numbers, titles, dates, revisions, and other important data. Create a list of data extracted from the project drawing title blocks and save to file, print, or insert it into a drawing.

Integrated Data Management
Accelerate development cycles and increase your ROI by reusing existing designs. AutoCAD Electrical includes integrated data management tools for workgroups that securely store and manage work-in-progress electrical design data and related documents.  

Autodesk Vault Manufacturing
Autodesk® Vault Manufacturing software, previously known as Autodesk® Productstream®, securely stores and manages engineering information, design data, and documents—shortening the design-to-manufacturing process. It helps design, engineering, and manufacturing departments collaborate and share digital prototyping information with multisite tools to connect workgroups across discrete locations. Take full advantage of advanced functionality by giving design departments the tools they need to track engineering change orders, manage BOMs and promote earlier collaboration through integration to manufacturing business systems. In addition, for Vault clients using non-Autodesk design products, support for multi-CAD environments means that customers with mixed environments can manage all engineering data throughout the product lifecycle.
