The ten typical workflow examples in this study have shown how the fundamental features in AutoCAD Electrical can help increase
your overall productivity level. As these tasks are very basic, you may find an even greater increase in time savings when creating your
own controls designs.
Key Findings
• Creation of new designs was 84% faster.
• Editing existing designs are
77% faster.
• Risk of errors was greatly reduced because of a
30% reduction in number of commands used.
To complete the same tasks, it required 36 minutes 52 seconds using basic AutoCAD software and only 7 minutes 37 seconds
using AutoCAD Electrical software an
80% productivity gain.
AutoCAD Electrical contains many other features and benefits that enable users to profoundly increase their design efficiency and
eliminate many of the errors caused by repetitive manual tasks. Maintaining consistency throughout the design process allows
manufacturers to create products in shortened design cycles with less overall expense.
The AutoCAD Electrical Advantage
Based on these ten tasks, AutoCAD Electrical provides a level of productivity for electrical controls designers that is not possible with
general-purpose CAD applications such as AutoCAD. Because AutoCAD Electrical is built specifically for electrical controls designers,
using the software can help you realize immediate and substantial productivity benefits such as the ones discussed in this paper.
