AutoCAD Electrical Quick Reference Guide

It has been a while since this guide was posted so I thought it might be nice to re-post. The guide is in PDF format so is can be printed.

AutoCAD Electrical uses a lot of different files. Some of the files include:

• Library symbols for the different standards
• Icon menu files
• Catalog database
• Circuit Builder spreadsheet
• Miscellaneous text files that make it easier to assign description, location, and installation values
• And more …

It can be hard to keep track of the files and find them when you need to make a change. The attached .pdf file provides a quick view into the main files used by AutoCAD Electrical and the default locations.

In addition to the files, the guide includes some other important basic information:

• Symbol naming convention
• Replaceable parameters used when defining the tagging format for components, wire numbers, and cross-referencing
• Family codes used by AutoCAD Electrical for symbols and catalog tables
