This filtering is far more powerful than single values. Project-wide command allows selection of individual drawings as needed.įiltering by Installation or Location Code can further limit the components being reported on. There is no requirement to run both reports as Panel report has an option that will extract data from all the components.Įach of the above categories can generate reports for active drawing or Project-wide. If you are new to AutoCAD electrical, you will think which report you have to run to get the complete BOM as both above reports have BOM. Schematic reports pull the data from schematic symbols while panel reports extract data from panel footprints.īoth schematic and panel reports could generate the following types of report categories. Mainly, there are two types of reports in AutoCAD Electrical. It is possible to generate most of the above-mentioned reports with few commands using AutoCAD Electrical. Those difficulties could have easily been avoidable if AutoCAD electrical Report functionality was used. However, there are some obvious mistakes still in the reports due to human errors, etc. These reports had to be manually updated several times when drawings had been revised.
Some instances, generating reports had been consumed longer time than creating drawings. BOM, wire labels, terminal numbers, and nameplates had been generated by myself using the manual method which is typing on an Excel sheet. I have used the standard AutoCAD almost six years for electrical drawings. By Chami Ranaweera l Redstack Applications Engineer - Mechanical and ElectricalĪutoCAD Electrical report is a powerful tool but, most CAD users are unaware of how to automate the process of generating reports using it.
