Collaboration and Interoperability

The sharing of accurate design data between AutoCAD 

Electrical and other Autodesk

®

 applications enables electrical 

and mechanical teams to smoothly collaborate on digital 

prototypes.

Link to the Cable and Harness Functionality of 
Autodesk

®

 Inventor

®

 Professional 

Quickly create accurate 2D and 3D electrical control 
designs using the bi-directional interoperability 
between AutoCAD

®

 Electrical and Autodesk

®

 Inven-

tor

®

 Professional software. Pass electrical intent 

information for cables and conductors from Auto-
CAD Electrical to Autodesk Inventor Professional to 
automatically create a 3D harness design. And, pass 
wire-connectivity information from Autodesk Inven-
tor Professional to AutoCAD Electrical to automati-
cally create the corresponding 2D schematics.

Share  Drawings and Track Changes 

Easily exchange data with customers or suppliers in 
native DWG™ format. AutoCAD Electrical drawings 
can be viewed and edited by any DWG-compatible 
program such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD

®

 LT soft-

ware. With the built-in AutoCAD Electrical revision 
tracking functionality, you can track all changes 
made to your drawings since the last update, no 
matter how many people accessed them. 

Multiuser Environment 

Collaborate more effectively and increase produc-
tivity while sharing projects within workgroups. 
AutoCAD Electrical control design software pro-
vides drawing status indicators and better control 
of project-wide commands to improve efficiency in 
multi-user environments.

Publish Designs on the Web

AutoCAD Electrical makes it easy to share designs 
with your extended enterprise by publishing either 
individual drawings or entire projects on the web. 
AutoCAD Electrical creates the HTML pages as well 
as the links you need to post your complete design 
to the web. 

DWF Tools

Publish DWF

 files directly from Autodesk manufac-

turing design applications, and securely collaborate 
on 2D and 3D designs with customers, suppliers, plan-
ners, and others outside your engineering workgroup. 
Using free* Autodesk

®

 Design Review software, team 

members can digitally review, measure, mark-up, and 
comment on your 2D and 3D designs while protect-
ing your intellectual property. Tight integration with 
Autodesk manufacturing products enables accurate 
communication of design information, including 
assembly instructions, bills of material (BOMs), and 
finite element analysis (FEA) results without requiring 
CAD expertise. Autodesk Design Review software 
automatically tracks comments and their status, 
and the DWF-based markups can be round-tripped, 
helping speed the revision process and minimize 
information loss.
