Database for AutoCAD Electrical

As in any other CAD, AutoCAD Electrical has a database of standard components. A well-designed, user-friendly database greatly simplifies the work in the AutoCAD Electrical and increases the speed of the design.

Soft4Cad Team developed the database of Russian standard blocks according to GOST (Russian standard for design) because originally AutoCAD Electrical doesn’t have such database.

AutoCAD Electrical Database is running on 2010-2017 versions, adapted for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and 10, 32 and 64 bits.

Library consists of three parts.


Symbols

The first part contains graphic symbols (DWG blocks) for schemes. Each symbol is an intellectual block with attributes saving information about the product.

Panel components

The second part of database is an array of panel components in accordance with the real equipment dimensions. Each panel component is an intellectual DWG block with information about the product.

List of items

The third part is a list of equipment containing different manufacturers and groups of equipment. User can choose any item applicable for symbol (DWG block) on the drawing. Database gives to user only appropriate items so user can’t choose equipment which does not applicable for this symbol.
