![]() Use a grid, and find or create a symbol library you like. IEC standards are also 11x17 (or A3 which is close), and most electronic schematic software works on a 0.1" grid (2.54mm - same as IEC which works on a 2.5mm grid) Most of the Auto industry has switched to Eplan, which is nice (but waaaay too expensive to be taken seriously) and at least has a good symbol library and fairly legible design standards (ie, 11x17 symbols as opposed to D size). You can completely re-do the symbol library and autocad electrical can be a very powerful tool, but it takes a lot of time to get to that point. ![]() That said, it is the standard and you do see many companies use it (not the auto industry anymore, ironically enough). ![]() ![]() Because Autocad is based in the auto industry, there are some pretty dumb and archaic standards built into autocad electrical - like "D" sized sheets and symbol libraries that, when printed on 11x17 or 8.5x11, are nearly illegible IMO. On the subject of a 'good' symbol library, Autocad Electrical does not have one IMO. There are other autocad clones such as Bricscad (which offers a perpetual license and lisp, plugins, etc that autocad LT does not) or ZWcad. DWG is definitely the standard - so whatever you look for should be able to export to DWG.īasic autocad is fine if you have a good symbol library and can keep good documentation of the components you use. ![]()
