The current release of AutoCAD Electrical does not include an ISA-type
symbol library though, I believe, there are users who have moved in that
direction on their own (i.e. creating instrument symbols per the AcadE
naming convention, adding the attributes that AcadE looks for, and such).
There are two features in AcadE that may be useful to users who want to do
this: 1) ability to have a "split TAG" pair of attributes - this works well
for ISA instrument bubbles, for example, and 2) ability to have AcadE
cross-reference between like devices on different drawing disciplines (the
WDTAGALT and WDTYPE attributes) - for example, valve FY100A on an instrument
diagram mapping to SV254 on the electrical schematic diagram. For "how to",
search the AcadE on-line "Electrical Help Topics" for key words TAG1_PART1
and WDTAGALT respectively.
