The network deployment for AutoCAD Electrical and AutoCAD is the same, except for the sharing of symbol libraries, catalog databases, and support files.
The deployment process is initiated from the Installation wizard. In the AutoCAD Electrical Installation wizard, click Create Deployments to create various client deployment images and deployment types.
The deployment process lets you do any of the following:
As you begin a deployment, you need to select a deployment location, choose a deployment name, and specify whether silent mode is active to client installations.
AutoCAD Electrical installs comprehensive and intelligent symbol libraries in different industry standards.
| Sample project files | *.dwg |
| Getting Started Guide sample project | *.dwg |
| PLC Database File Editor BMP files | *.bmp |
| PLC I/O module database | ACE_PLC.MDB |
| AutoCAD Electrical Environment file | WD.ENV |
| Schematic Lookup database | SCHEMATIC_LOOKUP.MDB |
| Panel Footprint Lookup database | FOOTPRINT_LOOKUP.MDB |
| Din Rail Excel file | WDDINRL.XLS |
| Language Translation database | WD_LANG1.MDB |
| Insert Component (Catalog List) file | WD_PICKLIST.MDB |
Use the Share Content tab of the Deployment wizard to specify whether or not to share symbol libraries, catalog databases, and support files. There is also an option to install the files to a shared network location so that multiple users can work from a common standard symbol library and parts database.
