1 1 AutoCAD Electrical 2008 What’s New Name Company AutoCAD Electrical 2008 Top Reasons to Move from AutoCAD AMS CAD Solutions http://www.amsystems.com

2 2© 2006 Autodesk  Intelligent electrical controls design  Fully native DWG  Open and extendable  The only logical choice for electrical controls design AutoCAD Electrical 2008 What is it?

3 3© 2006 Autodesk Benefits of Electrical CAD Provide accurate control system designs in less time Design more accurately in less time  Comprehensive symbol library based on International standards  Real time error checking and alerts  Build smart panel layout drawings based on schematic contents Re-use designs and rapidly respond to customer changes  Automatically update title blocks project wide  Instantly renumber wires and components  Copy and paste circuits with automatic updates Ship your products on time  Eliminate costly design errors before they hit the shop floor  Automatically generate accurate wire labels to expedite the build phase  Automatic Bill of Material reports ensure all parts are ordered

4 4© 2006 Autodesk Top 10 Reasons to Move from AutoCAD to AutoCAD Electrical 1. Comprehensive Symbol Libraries 2. Automatic Wire Numbering and Component Tagging 3. Automatic Project Reports 4. Real-Time Error Checking 5. Real-Time Coil and Contact Cross-Referencing 6. Create Smart Panel Layout Drawings 7. Electrical-Specific Drafting Features 8. Automatically Create PLC I/O Drawings from Spreadsheets 9. Share Drawings with Customers and Suppliers 10. Reuse Existing Drawings

5 5© 2006 Autodesk Reason 1 Comprehensive Symbol Libraries Customer Need To quickly build standards based controls designs AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Symbol libraries based on International standards  JIC, IEC, GB, JIS, AUS  Automated insert component process

6 6© 2006 Autodesk Reason 2 Automatic Wire Numbering and Component Tagging Customer Need Unique wire numbers and component tags AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Referenced or sequential based numbering  Flexible numbering formats  Automatically adds a suffix to duplicates

7 7© 2006 Autodesk Reason 3 Automatic Project Reports Customer Need Instant and accurate reports AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Reports include  Bill of Materials  From/To Wire Lists  Cable Lists  Terminal Reports  Much More…  Multiple report generation with a single command  Flexible export options

8 8© 2006 Autodesk Reason 4 Real Time Error Checking Customer Need To eliminate design errors before build phase begins AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Design audit and repair utility  Automatic notification of  Duplicates  Resolution suggestions

9 9© 2006 Autodesk Reason 5 Real Time Coil and Contact Cross- Referencing Contacts on Others Relay on one Drawing Customer Need Error free use of relays AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Automatic tracking of relay coils and contacts  Updates to all related devices  Alerts when number of contacts are exceeded  Flexible display formats

10 10© 2006 Autodesk Reason 6 Create Smart Panel Layout Drawings Customer Need Panel layout drawings that match the corresponding schematic design AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Panel layout drawings driven by schematic content  Link between schematic and panel components  Changes to one automatically update the other

11 11© 2006 Autodesk Reason 7 Electrical Specific Drafting Features Customer Need Slash design time using commands specifically for electrical controls designers AutoCAD Electrical Delivers Specialized features such as:  Trim wire  Copy and delete component or circuit  Scoot and align components

12 12© 2006 Autodesk Reason 8 Automatic PLC I/O Drawings 1 Customer Need Eliminate redundant tasks involved in designing a PLC I/O system AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Automatic PLC I/O drawing generation from a spreadsheet  PLC I/O address and description report exported to PLC program

13 13© 2006 Autodesk Reason 9 Share Drawings and Track Changes Customer Need Easily share drawings with downstream users AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  DWG files compatible with downstream AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT users  Ability to track and report changes

14 14© 2006 Autodesk Reason 10 Reuse Existing Drawings Customer Need Easily reuse a specific part or an entire drawing set when starting a new design AutoCAD Electrical Delivers  Reuse commonly used circuits for use in future designs  Automatically renumbers wires and devices to the configuration of the new project  Retag all components in a project with a single command

15 15© 2006 Autodesk  Intelligent electrical controls design  Fully native DWG  Open and extendable  The only logical choice for electrical controls design AutoCAD Electrical 2008 What is it?
