Electricalconnectionbetween the componentsneed to passtothe Panel Layouts,to optimizeconnectionin length and based on these data to create a report «Wire From/To».
Not sure I follow. Unless you mean some sort of routing function to calculate and add wire lengths to the (existing) Wire From/To report.
Being able to have wiring connections routed through something like Panduit wireway shown on the panel layout would be seriously sweet though. You can (sort of) do that now but it requires the panels to be designed in Inventor and you have to export the data from ACE, import into Inventor, do some stuff there to route the wires, then export back to ACE. And since (at least not in 2013) simple wires don't have a way to hold the length information anyway, it only works for cables.
Not all users are working in Inventor. Autocad Electricalis sold as a separate product.
On Panel Layouts shows howthe componentsare locatedin the cabinet. Optimization of electrical connections between components allow properly generate a report Wire From/To. The length can beobtainedby using the attributeCLEN.
Routing in AutoCAD Electrical itself could be a nice feature. It is of course possible to do the routing in Inventor. But Inventor do not know cable ducts and the degree of filling of a cable duct; Inventor routes always according the shortest path - sometimes it is maybe more useful to route according different rules: equal filling of cable ducts, shorter path for thick wires and longer path for thin wires, etc.
This can only happen if acadE moves to a full database driven application and then manages circuits/connections for the parts in the in the database. It also means your symbols will have new attributes for each connection that will be populated with unique identifiers for that symbol. Once this is done, doing the same in inventor will be cake and you can auto-route anythng quickly.
