Curriculum

Introduction to AutoCAD Electrical 2025

This introductory section familiarizes you with the AutoCAD Electrical interface, including customizing settings and an overview of its key features. You'll take a self-evaluation test to check your understanding of the interface components.

Project Management Mastery

Learn to effectively manage your projects within AutoCAD Electrical 2025. This section covers creating new projects, adding drawings, managing drawing lists, copying projects, comparing settings, and extracting component information. You'll practice these techniques with self-assessment tests and exercises.

Working with Wires & Wire Management

Master the art of wire management in AutoCAD Electrical. You'll learn to insert, trim, delete, and number wires; create wire types; change existing wire types; insert wire color and gauge labels; and edit wire sequences. Practice exercises and self-evaluation tests ensure comprehension.

Ladder Diagrams: Design & Implementation

This section delves into creating various ladder diagrams, including single-phase and three-phase ladders with multiple wire buses. You will also learn how to set reference number formats and insert X-Y grid labels, concluding with practical exercises and self-assessment tests.

Schematic Component Insertion & Editing

Learn to insert, edit, and manage schematic components efficiently. Topics include inserting and editing components, adding wires, trimming rungs, swapping components, changing symbol libraries, and creating project-specific catalog databases. The section ends with self-evaluation and practice.

Advanced Component Techniques

This section focuses on advanced component manipulation, including copying, moving, and aligning components; auditing drawings; inserting components and managing catalog and location data; and efficiently updating drawings. This section includes multiple self-assessment tests and a practice exercise.

Connectors & Point-to-Point Wiring

Master the creation of point-to-point wiring diagrams using connectors and splices. You'll learn to insert saved circuits, copy circuits, save circuits to icon menus, configure one-line motor circuits, and save circuits as Wblocked circuits. The section will have self-assessment tests and a practice exercise.

Panel Layout Design

This section covers designing panel layouts, including extracting schematic component lists, inserting panel footprints, editing footprints, adding balloons, inserting footprints manually, making Xdata visible, and using the user-defined list tool to create new libraries and add footprint records. Self-assessment tests and exercises are included.

Report Generation for Professional Outputs

Learn to generate professional reports, including panel nameplates, panel component reports, and cumulative reports. You'll gain valuable skills in report customization and output management. This is followed by self-assessment tests and a practice exercise.

PLC Module Integration

This section explains inserting parametric PLC modules, creating new PLC modules using the PLC Database File Editor Tool, and creating PLC I/O wiring diagrams. It concludes with a self-assessment test and practice exercise.

Working with Terminals and Terminal Strips

This section will cover inserting terminal symbols, entering terminal information, inserting DIN rails and terminal strips and completing a practice exercise and a self-assessment test.

Project & Drawing Properties, Title Blocks, & Templates

This section covers changing drawing properties, updating wire numbers, changing project properties, creating new templates, using new templates for drawing creation, creating project description line files, updating title blocks and creating, setting and updating new templates with the title block. This section includes a self-assessment test and a practice exercise.

Symbol Creation & Miscellaneous Tools

Learn to create custom symbols with attributes, save and insert them, add customized symbols to icon menus, export and import data, and effectively mark and verify drawings. The section culminates in a self-assessment test and a practice exercise.

Capstone Projects: Real-World Application

Apply your newly acquired skills in two comprehensive capstone projects: creating a motor control circuit and developing a panel layout drawing. These projects offer valuable practical experience.
