Interesting.... Did they add bugs? According to https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACAD_E/2025/ENU/?guid=GUID-FDD3F04D-86E0-4B8A-AF62-890099F5F2D5

They have fixed some...

Care to share what you've found?

Xfers for source and destination have wrong data. Zooming to extents results in the drawings showing as a dot. I gave up on 2025 at this point as it took hours to try to get all of this fixed in 2025. When I went back to 2024 it all worked properly.

Hi @matthewcontrols ,

Sorry to hear that you encountered issues with AutoCAD Electrical 2025.

May I get more information about the issues you faced?

Are you using hexagonal source and destination arrows?

Is it possible to provide some screenshots or workflow steps for the issues you have encountered?
Thanks again for reporting the issues.

Looks like they are generating bugs so the programmers can totally ignore what the market wants and justify their jobs

the market leaders are so far ahead of ACADE now with features and the ability to integrated with a multitude of third party relevant applications

that you need the Hubble telescope to see how far ahead they are

I have a feeling that AutoCAD Electrical is given to people who have nothing to do with the electrical profession, especially not with drawing electrical schematics, and they behave purely in a marketing way.

I agree 100% Look at the PLC blocks. There are PLCs that have been on the market for over 10 years that are not in the Icon menus. The SLC is still there and has been obsolete for more that 10 years. There is mistakes in the blocks, one of our engineers did not check the wiring and we fried a $1000 module. I could go on for hours…

Autodesk sees ACADE as a box to tick

they can say they have an electrical option in their software offerings

but anybody who has actually used it and any of there competitors

quickly realise that its a very poor product with virtually no development

Me personally see the parts offering as a joke as its full of obsolete parts or parts that just dont exist in my region

if they were serious they would create

Eplan to acade conversion tool would be relatively simple to create but no we don't do that

same goes for See electrical /PC schematic/Solidowroks electrical and Wscad

they all export to Dwg and have fairly strict rules of export so it would be easy to convert the exported files to acade

the question is why don't they ?

simple answer because people using these products don't want to go backwards

hence no demand which tells you everything !!!!!

One issue is source block hex type with top line of text the sheet number and the bottom line the line number (block HA3S4). The top line of text is still the sheet number, but the bottom line is sheet and line number combined.

Seems like Autodesk isn't doing anything. I am so fed up that I have decided to begin the migration to Eplan

Skewed priorities, Autodesk? Hire some electrical engineers to supervise your ACE programmers, and make them from the USA market, before EPlan eats your lunch... if you care.

No worries. I'm eating that lunch, one customer by one customer 😂

I feel sorry for organizations that don't have at least one person that understands the ACAD system from the ground up. I love OUR custom ACE system (yeah, I call it "ACE" because it's shorter), but we vetted virtually everything along the way and fleshed-out the database and menu systems. Too bad most engineers can't or won't take the time to look under the hood.

Good for you. I installed it recently and I'm enjoying a little performance boost. The only bug I have so far is the return of the Access Database Engine 2016 issue, since some of our company software still requires us to use both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I imagine they didn't apply the fix from Acad 2024, thinking surely no one will still have this issue. Thankfully the fix takes about 2 minutes, but I have to do it every week, since Microsoft "fixes" my system every week.

Fix your blocks.

Jonathan_Tederoff — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:28:14 GMT

hey james, i'm having this issue aswell, what fixe are you using? thanks!

Re: 2025 IS FULL OF BUGS

james_moore — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:34:01 GMT

I have a copy of the Access Database Engine (2016) stand-alone installation .exe file, as well as the 2007 version, which is 32-bit.

I have to navigate to Control Panel-Programs and Features, locate and uninstall both versions, then reinstall the 2016 version, followed by the 2007 version.

If I've understood correctly, newer versions of MS Office have this code embedded now, but apparently Autodesk software doesn't look at the new pointer(s)? to find it, so you have to overlay the old versions into the system.
