Summary

This course is designed for new AutoCAD® MEP users who want to implement an electrical system. This class is more in depth than our previous one day class. You will learn how to Add devices and panels to an electrical system plan, set system definitions, demand factors, and preferences, and use the Circuit Manager. You will learn how to add electrical equipment, wiring, cable trays, and conduits to electrical drawings and add labels and annotation symbols and create equipment and panel schedules. You will also learn how to create construction documents. This class uses hands-on exercises to teach students how to design and draw electrical lighting and power systems and how to turn them into quality construction documents.
