Electrical Design for Digital Prototyping
  • AutoCAD Electrical adds valuable controls design data to digital prototypes and helps users:


  • Pass electrical design information directly to Autodesk® Inventor™
  • Create 3D harness designs and their 2D schematics automatically
  • Create accurate 2D and 3D electrical designs in less time
