Course Description

This tutorial will show you how to create an electrical plan in AutoCAD. To represent key elements of our plan, such as lights, fixtures, switches, outlets, etc., we will begin by drawing symbols. After creating these symbols, we will create blocks that can be used in future projects. After adding the blocks to the library, we will generate a drawing legend that illustrates the symbols, their quantity, and a description of the symbols. A material cost estimate for our project will also be generated. We'll then layout all the electrical symbols on each floor. Finally, we'll map out how they are connected with connection lines. This AutoCAD training will teach you how to draw common symbols in electrical plans, make reusable blocks using your symbols, use geometric constraints and create a legend by using tables. AutoCAD 2015 is required.

What You Will Learn

After creating and writing the blocks to a library, we'll then generate a drawing legend illustrating the symbols we've created, the quantity as well as a description of what the symbols represent

By the end of this AutoCAD training, you'll know how to draw symbols commonly used in electrical plans, create reusable blocks from your symbols, work with geometric constraints, and also generate a drawing legend using tables

Finally we'll layout all our electrical symbols in each space on the ground floor and we'll also map out how these are all connected using connection lines

Learn how to draw a basic electrical plan using AutoCAD

Once we've created these symbols, we'll then create blocks for these symbols that we can use for future projects

Software required AutoCAD 2015

We'll also generate a material cost estimation for the wiring in our project

We'll begin the project by drawing a few symbols to represent important elements within our plan like lights, fixtures, switches, and outlets
