Accelerate control systems design with Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical 2027, the specialized CAD software engineered specifically for electrical engineers, draftsmen, and control designers. Built on the industry-standard AutoCAD 2027 engine, this application contains a complete set of electrical design features to automate drafting tasks, reduce engineering errors, and deliver highly accurate documentation to the shop floor.
This 1-year software subscription licenses a single user for 12 months, delivering instant digital access to the native toolsets, cloud-collaborative workflows, regular performance updates, and ongoing technical support.
Key Features & What's New in AutoCAD Electrical 2027
Native ECLASS Data Import: Stay up to date with modern supply chains. You can now download and import catalog data, physical footprints (via standard
.dwgor.stpformats), and comprehensive 3D parts directly into your MS Access catalog database from any manufacturer website that supports the globally standardized ECLASS protocol.Direct Manufacturer Terminal Strip Export: Bridge the gap between engineering and manufacturing.
Export terminal strip data directly to preferred external manufacturing applications—including Phoenix Contact, WAGO, and Weidmuller—allowing configuration and marking generation to happen instantly without re-keying data. Automated Wire Numbering & Component Tagging: Eradicate manual errors. AutoCAD Electrical automatically applies sequential or reference-based numbers to all wires and assigns intelligent tags to your circuit components based on your chosen configuration.
If you modify a layout, dependent components and tags update instantly. Expansive 65,000+ Smart Symbol Library: Drop pre-configured, colorful symbols right into your drawings.
Tap into massive standard libraries including NFPA/JIC, IEC, IEEE, and GB, or quickly convert standard blocks into custom components using the built-in Symbol Builder tool. Enhanced Terminal Table & Plan Generation: Generate a concise connection matrix of any terminal strip in table format, detailing exact device connections on both sides.
Updated reporting features allow you to capture jumper wire layers and define precise left/right code placements seamlessly. Autodesk AI Guidance & Geometry Cleanup: AutoCAD 2027's core architecture brings intelligent asset management to your electrical panel designs.
The Geometry Cleanup tool automatically flags and corrects alignment errors, overlaps, or broken intersections on your layouts, while the natural-language Autodesk Assistant helps you quickly reference internal design standards. PLC I/O Drawings from Spreadsheets: Build massive control schemes in seconds.
Simply map out your project's programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O assignments in a standard spreadsheet or comma-delimited data file, and watch the system draw the schematic paths automatically.
