Schematic Design Tools

Create and modify electrical control schematics more accurately 

and in fraction of the time it takes with AutoCAD

®

.

Electrical-Specific Drafting 
Commands

Save hours of design time using spe-
cialized drafting features in AutoCAD 
Electrical developed specifically for 
designing control systems. Quickly 
trim wires, copy and delete com-
ponents or circuits, and scoot and 
align components for easier drawing 
creation.

Ladders and Reference Line Numbers

Use the flexible ladder insertion functionality in 
AutoCAD Electrical to quickly place ladders into 
a drawing, minimizing the redundancy of creat-
ing control drawings. Place ladders horizontally or 
vertically while maintaining complete control over 
all ladder characteristics, including rung spacing, 
number of rungs, and ladder width. Reduce tedious 
manual processes with automatic placement of 
reference line numbers based on a predefined 
configuration. 

Automatic Wire Gaps

Effortlessly create easy-to-read schematics. When-
ever two wires cross in an electrical design, AutoCAD 
Electrical automatically indicates which wire passes 
through. You can choose from wire gaps, loops, or 
solid wires to show crossing wires. 

Visual Wiring Sequence Indicators

Efficiently communicate design intent to manufac-
turing and avoid wiring errors by graphically indicat-
ing the proper wiring sequence of a circuit directly 
on the schematic. . When you make changes to a 
wire sequence, the updated information is automati-
cally accurately reflected in the from/to wire list 
report.

Revise Ladder

With AutoCAD Electrical you don’t have to start from 
scratch when you need to modify a ladder in your 
design. Use the Revise Ladder command to modify 
ladders already inserted into drawings. Without 
deleting and starting over again, you can modify 
most aspects of the ladder, including rung spacing 
and number of rungs, as well as starting and ending 
reference numbers. This single command saves hours 
of manual editing and helps ensure that your time is 
spent on high-value work.
