13 Introduction Welcome to the AutoCAD Electrical 2007: Essentials (JIC Standard) Autodesk Official Training Courseware, a training course for use in Authorized Training Centers, corporate training settings, and other classroom settings. This courseware is designed to teach you the essential features and functionality of AutoCAD Electrical Although this courseware is designed to be used as a teaching tool for instructor-led courses, it can also be used for self-paced learning. In addition to the coursework, this manual encourages self-learning through the use of the AutoCAD Electrical Help system. This introduction covers the following topics: Course objectives Prerequisites Using this courseware CD contents Completing the exercises Installing the exercise data files from the CD Notes, tips, and warnings Feedback This courseware is complementary to the software documentation. For detailed explanations of features and functionality, refer to the Help in the software. Course Objectives After completing this course, you will be able to Use project-related tools to access drawings and copy projects. Insert wires, add wire numbers, manage circuits, and create point-to-point wiring diagrams and drawings. Edit drawings projectwide with commands that are specific to the electrical design environment. Insert and annotate schematic symbols. Extract information from drawings to create Bill of Materials, Wiring, and other reports. Create and annotate panel layout drawings with lists of components that are extracted from schematic drawings and with other specific panel layout tools, such as the Terminal Strip Editor. Change project and drawing configurations by changing the default settings to match your specific electrical design requirements. Create custom schematic and panel symbols to meet your specific needs and customize the icon menu system to include the new symbols. xiii

14 Add custom catalog numbers and pin lists to the default databases, as well as update title block attributes automatically with project and drawing data. Use automated processes, such as generating reports and updating drawings from spreadsheets, to improve design productivity. Integrate Autodesk Vault into your electrical design environment to add document management to your design process. Insert parametric PLC I/O and standard full-unit modules in your schematic drawings, as well as create custom PLC I/O modules. Use advanced tools to add wiring information from schematic drawings to panel footprints and to manage cables in your projects. Prerequisites This course is designed for users new to AutoCAD Electrical It is recommended that you have: A background in electrical design (drafting and design experience is a plus). Working knowledge of AutoCAD. A working knowledge of Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP. Using This Courseware The lessons and exercises are independent of each other. However, it is recommended that you complete these lessons in the order that they are presented unless you are familiar with the concepts and functionality described in those lessons. Each chapter contains the following: Lessons Usually two or more lessons in each chapter. Exercises Practical, real-world examples for you to practice using the functionality you have just learned. Each exercise contains step-by-step procedures and graphics to help you complete the exercise successfully. CD The CD attached to the back cover of this book contains all the data and drawings you need to complete the exercises in this course. xiv Introduction

15 Completing the Exercises You can complete the exercise in two ways: using the book or online. Using the book Follow the step-by-step exercises in the book exercise workbook. Each lesson contains a page that tells you which exercise should be used. Online Click the AutoCAD Electrical 2007 Essentials icon on your desktop, installed from the CD, and follow the step-by-step exercises online. The exercises are the same as those in the book. The online version has the advantage that you can concentrate on the screen without having to glance down at your book. After launching the online exercises, you might need to alter the size of your application window to align both windows. Introduction xv
