AutoCAD Electrical is Autodesk's specialized toolset, built on AutoCAD, for designing and documenting electrical control systems. It adds electrical-specific tools, automatic wire numbering and component tagging, an extensive library of schematic and panel symbols, PLC I/O modules, and one-click reporting, so engineers can produce accurate control-circuit and wiring diagrams far faster than with general drafting software. Because so much industrial automation, machinery, and panel design depends on consistent, error-free electrical documentation, teams that work fluently in AutoCAD Electrical keep projects coordinated, standards-compliant, and on schedule.
As manufacturers and engineering firms automate more of their machinery and infrastructure, this program helps your teams design control systems and wiring schematics accurately and efficiently in AutoCAD Electrical. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Built around your goals, the program turns AutoCAD Electrical skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your electrical design, controls, and engineering teams.
By the end of the program, your team can set up and manage project files, draw and number electrical schematics, tag and edit components, place PLC modules and I/O points, create and reuse custom symbols, and generate reports and audits automatically. The result is faster design cycles, fewer wiring errors, consistent documentation across projects, and an electrical engineering team confident across the full AutoCAD Electrical workflow.

Participants should be comfortable with the basics of AutoCAD and general drafting, and have a working understanding of electrical or controls concepts such as schematics, wiring, and components. Familiarity with reading electrical diagrams is helpful, but no prior AutoCAD Electrical experience is required to get the most from the AutoCAD Electrical training course.
