Autocad Electrical Toolset - Advanced

AutoCAD Electrical Toolset training teaches professionals how to automate electrical schematics, wire numbering, cross-referencing, and reporting so documentation becomes faster, consistent, and production-ready for real control and panel design projects.

The AutoCAD Electrical Toolset training course is an advanced professional program designed for electrical designers, controls engineers, and automation specialists who must produce accurate, build-ready electrical documentation. The course focuses on industry-specific automation tools, including intelligent symbol libraries, parent-child component relationships, automated wire numbering, cross-referencing, and project-wide reporting.

AutoCAD Electrical Toolset Course Overview

This 6-hour, instructor-led AutoCAD Electrical Toolset training equips students to automate repetitive drafting tasks, manage multi-drawing projects, and deliver standardized documentation for control systems, PLC wiring, and industrial automation design. Delivered by a certified AutoCAD Electrical Training Specialist and supported with a 30-day demo license, the course prepares professionals to reduce errors, improve productivity, and apply structured electrical documentation workflows in production environments.

This advanced AutoCAD Electrical training focuses on electrical schematic automation, PLC and ladder logic documentation, intelligent symbol libraries, footprint linking, terminal management, and project reporting. Participants learn how AutoCAD Electrical automation tools transform traditional drafting into structured, rule-based electrical system documentation.

This AutoCAD Electrical Toolset training course may be taken alongside our AutoCAD Electrical Tutorial (Basic), AutoCAD Electrical Training (Intermediate), or as part of our 24-hour AutoCAD Electrical Mastery Bundle for complete system design proficiency.

For organizations adopting AutoCAD Electrical in production environments, this course delivers measurable productivity gains, improved documentation accuracy, and consistent design standards across engineering teams.

Note: This course is delivered by a certified AutoCAD Electrical Training Specialist and includes a 30-day Demo License for hands-on practice with the software.

 

What This Course Covers

This AutoCAD Electrical Toolset training program teaches participants how to use intelligent symbol libraries, automated wire numbering, parent-child component relationships, PLC symbol management, ladder logic documentation, and built-in cross-referencing to streamline electrical schematic automation and reduce errors across complex projects.

Participants also learn how Circuit Builder enhances circuit design by automating symbol placement, wire connections, and schematic generation. The course emphasizes professional workflows for control systems engineering, industrial automation, panel fabrication, and PLC documentation.

In addition to schematic creation, students learn how to configure project environments, manage templates, customize symbols, control title block intelligence, and generate production-ready reports such as wire lists, bills of materials, and terminal schedules.
