The required field is attributes that MUST be included in the symbol or it will not convert into an Electrical symbol.

You insert it with either your grid or object snap on. Once this is done you select ok and the block editor environment opens with the symbol builder attribute editor.įor wired connection, you will select if the connection is coming from the top, right, left or right of the symbol. Is it horizontal or vertical. Is it a schematic or panel component. You then select how your symbol is going to behave. This would typically be IEEE, IEC2 or JIS. This is very similar to the block and wblock wizard that you use to create blocks in normal AutoCAD with a few Elec additions.Īfter selecting the objects that you want in your symbol and the base point you will choose which attribute library to use. Open the symbol builder found on the Other Tools panel on the ribbon. (although they are still extensive and awesome) Today we are going to showcase how easy it is to create custom schematic and panel components in ACAD E as you know you might have built up an awesome block library that you do not want to give for the stock standard Autodesk symbols. Creating these in normal AutoCAD is time-consuming and tedious but not in ACAD E!!!

AutoCAD Electrical is an awesome turbo boost if you are creating electrical schematics for Panel design.
