Table of contents
No headersAutoCAD Electrical currently supports the following industry standards: JIC (US), IEC (Europe), JIS (Japan), GB (China) and AS (Australia). Although AutoCAD Electrical supports many standards, these exercises follow the JIC standard and sample drawing set.
The exercises are grouped into main topics. Each main topic contains one or more individual exercises. You can perform the main topics in any order but perform the exercises within a main topic in order.
It is assumed that you have a working knowledge of the AutoCAD interface and tools. If you do not, review the AutoCAD online documentation.
It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP, and a working knowledge of electrical design and schematic ladder wiring diagrams.
Note: Turn off the AutoCAD Dynamic Input feature (found on the status bar) before starting the exercises.
The tutorial uses a naming convention when referring to ribbon commands. For example, in the selection path Schematic tab
Insert Components panelCircuit Builder, Schematic is the name of the tab, Insert Components is the name of the panel on the tab, and Circuit Builder is the name of the command.
Backup exercise files
Backup exercise files are found at Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\Acade {version}\Aedata\Tutorial\Aegs. If you make a mistake while working through the exercises, browse to and copy the demo files to your project folder.
Completed exercise files for each tutorial are found at Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\Acade {version}\Aedata\Tutorial\Aegs\Completed\{tutorial_name}\. If you do not complete the exercises in order, browse to and copy the files for the prior tutorial to your project folder. For example, if you skipped the Projects tutorial and are starting with the Wiring tutorial, copy the Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\Acade {version}\Aedata\Tutorial\Aegs\Projects\ exercise files to the project folder.
Note: Backup exercise files are found at Users\{username}\Documents\Acade {version}\Aedata\Tutorial\Aegs on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation.
