AutoCAD Electrical Essentials

Introduction

This course teaches the production of Electrical Schematic Drawing, Terminal Plan Drawing, Bill of Materials in various formats, Connection List reports, and other associated reports using AutoCAD Electrical. We work up at least one project from a blank starting point, and include during this project the generation of new symbol elements. It is entirely practical, with a hands-on-approach and you will have your own professional CAD computer. You will be given your own bound set of course notes, which includes a reference guide.
