Re: Electrical Schematic Software

I have done the schematics in AutoCAD Electrical since 2010 for 1922, OzRam. One reason is that I want the students to get used to reading real schematics. I structure them just like I do in my work as an electrical engineer building automation equipment, using wire numbers and including colors and wire sizes on the drawing. Another reason for using AutoCAD Electrical is that in my experience it is the most common software in industry for schematics.

I shared a .pdf version of the 2010 drawings in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=85794

I have not started the 2015 schematics yet but plan on making electrical blocks or "symbols" as AutoCAD calls them soon as there is enough info available to do much of it.

I would love to teach the students and I have had a few do it with me but it is usually when they are involved and needed in other phases of the build.
