It uses the AutoCAD drafting engine, but Electrical is a series of relational databases which record and process drawing data, which is stored in special attributes inside the drawing and the "smart" symbols. ![]() They reason that because it has the word AutoCAD in its name that it works the same as AutoCAD. This is why so many who move from AutoCAD to Electrical get lost and never get the productivity that they should. You can purchase promis-e and add to AutoCAD but you still need training for promis-e. You will also find CAD Blocks for Reflected Ceiling Plans and a basic Lighting Schedule in AutoCAD. But don't expect any previous knowledge of plain AutoCAD to circumvent the need for formal training on Electrical. The ArchBlocks AutoCAD Electrical Library has electrical symbols for designing Lighting Plans and Electrical Plans that are required for CAD construction documents. Autodesk simply installs AutoCAD and Electrical together so you don't have to perform two separate installations. Back then it was from VIA and before that it was CimLogic. We still had to take training for the Electrical add-in. It's no different from when we used to buy Electrical as a separate product and add it to AutoCAD. The menu in Electrical is probably 85% Electrical. ![]() ![]() I highly recommend classroom hands-on training if you wish to get the most from Electrical.
