Inventor and AutoCAD Electrical Working Together

Share this class

Description

This session will cover the ways that Inventor software and AutoCAD Electrical software interact with each other for a much better workflow. When you use Inventor, you can see an actual representation of a component such as transformers, regulators, breakers, and so on. This lets the designer have better judgment for clearances, footprint, connections points, and more. When you incorporate AutoCAD Electrical, you can use the Inventor components converted from 3D to 2D format in order to have a more realistic representation. This will help the designer determine the correct wiring points on a device, as well as clearances and bend radius.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to apply your designing methods in a more realistic view
  • Learn how to use the design tools to provide a clear picture to your customer for your substation
  • Learn how to provide an accurate BOM for your projects
  • Learn how to modify your design with minimal effort and eliminate costly errors

  • Justin Martin
    When Justin was little, he wanted to know how the radio worked. He took his mother's stereo apart but was unable to put it back together. He promised he would figure it out and eventually he did. Not knowing much about the industry but having taken drafting in high school, Justin knew that he had an interest in drafting and electricity. He attended Maryland Drafting Institute to study drafting and architecture and discovered architecture wasn't for him. He was able land his first job in the industry with a MEP consulting firm in 2001 doing MEP drafting. While employed there, he showed a lot of interest in the electrical field and earned the opportunity to learn basic power distribution design. Over the course of his career, he continued to work hard to learn more about power distribution, automation controls, commissioning, and project managing. Justin is currently the CAD Lead within the Transmissions group at Duke Energy Carolina's. West region.
