AutoCAD Electrical 2022: A Tutorial Approach

The AutoCAD Electrical 2022: A Tutorial Approach is a tutorial-based book that introduces the readers to AutoCAD Electrical 2022 software, designed specifically for creating professional electrical control drawings. The book has a wide range of tutorials covering the tools and features of AutoCAD Electrical such as schematic drawings, panel drawings, parametric and nonparametric PLC modules, ladder diagrams, Circuit Builder, point-to-point wiring diagrams, report generation, creation of symbols, and so on. These tutorials will enable the users to create innovative electrical control drawings with ease. Moreover, the tutorials used ensure that the users can relate the information provided in this textbook with the practical industry designs. The chapters in this textbook are arranged in a pedagogical sequence that makes it very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software.

To enhance the knowledge of users, in this edition, the author has added three new tutorials on concepts such as Customizing the Templates and Title block as well as on tools such as Show Wire Sequence and Insert Wblocked Circuit.

About three new tutorials added to this release

Tutorial 1:
In this tutorial, the Show Wire Sequence tool is used to trace the wire sequence of one of the wire networks in a drawing. Next the wire sequence of this wire network is edited using the Edit Wire Sequence tool, refer to Figures 1 and 2.

Tutorial 2:
In this tutorial a user-circuit is inserted into a drawing and then the circuit is saved as a wblocked circuit, and then the wblocked circuit is inserted into another drawing, refer to Figure 3.

Tutorial 3:
In this tutorial, a new block is created with attributes defined in it. Next, a template is created using this block. A new drawing is created using this template and then the title block is set up using method 1 and the title block is updated for the new drawing, refer to Figure 4.
