AutoCAD Electrical 2008 Training Course
Learn how to Design and modify electrical controls systems faster than ever before with our training course for AutoCAD Electrical
2008 software. Find out how to increase design productivity, reduce errors and automate key control systems design tasks, all while maintaining a seamless integration with the familiar
AutoCAD ® software environment. Quickly create accurate 2D and 3D electrical designs in less time by sharing electrical design information from AutoCAD Electrical with the cable and harness
functionality of Autodesk ® Inventor. The bidirectional communication between Electrical 2008 and Inventor allows mechanical and electrical teams to work collaboratively on the
digital prototype.
What's New in Electrical 2008
DWG Product Recognition When you move the cursor over the DWG icon, a window appears with information identifying the Autodesk product and
version used to create the DWG file. In AutoCAD Electrical, an attempt is also made to locate the appropriate Autodesk product needed to open the file.
Surfable Reports Our training will help you reduce the time needed to navigate reports and their corresponding designs with the surfable reports feature.
Inserting Spare Terminals Provide accurate BOM information by limiting the guesswork when planning for spare terminal needs. Insert spare
terminals through the terminal strip editor. Any changes are updated in the BOM and various terminal reports.
Direct to Terminal Wire Sequencing Deliver more accurate reports by taking advantage of the flexibility in the level of control available when defining the wire connection sequence.
Multi-Level Terminals Learn how to use multi level terminals to define and manage terminal numbers as well as all connectivity information, with no added complexity.
Terminal Jumpers Reduce design time and help eliminate errors by accurately representing terminal jumpers as part of the design. Easily
create a "jumper" between multiple terminals to allow them to share the same potential.
