It sure would be nice, (and very 21st century) if we could assign catalog data to components while viewing the missing catalog data report.     Show More

We have several customers asking to be able to change the wire number after a Wire Tee. At the moment wire tee's do not change the wire number. Changing the name of the wire tee block definitions in your library (from HT0... to HT???) does not work because AutoCAD electrical only looks for the respective HT0... blocks when automatically placing wire tees.  The ideal solution would be that there is an option in the project settings to enable this different numbering scheme. In the background this would just cause the program to look for and insert different blocks which can be provided through the regular libraries. At the moment there is no clear workaround workflow available , and we have several clients manually adding fake numbering before printing. This completely negates the advantages of having automatic numbering workflows, and invites errors with the creation of 'duplicate' wire numbers.     Show More

Good day! Autodesk! Dear Autodesk developers! Please add a visual programming environment for AutoCAD Electrical software - Dynamo! This will be a powerful update.   Dynamo for AutoCAD Electrical Show More

The shielded cable marker has been used to do the connection. Seems that doing the connection in Inventor with .EMX connection, Inventor does not take into account the shielded cable marker. It just takes into account the connections which are done by pin-to-pin. So, putting shielded cable marker has no functionality on Inventor side different than normal cable marker. Inventor has no shield logic or feature. It addresses the first item I shared, which is it would be more effective if inventor could have shield logic and could be able to do the connection accordingly from the AutoCAD Electrical.    The recording should be the process for me to show the shields both connected to GND pins. If I do this, even it is the one cable's shield, Inventor does not understand or there is no exchange of this data with .EMX connection, it is not possible to do the shield connection to the GND pins.     It would be great if there will be exchange of this information to Inventor with .EMX. So, there is a cable and has 2 shielded marker, both markers connected to different GND pins on different connectors. If Inventor may be capable to do the connection would be a good enhancement on the process. Of course with a shield feature in Inventor.   This Idea is related with the idea Shield for Cable & Harness Environment - Autodesk Community and about interoperability. Show More

Since we are mapping Wire Line Layers & Color/Gauge Labels with the .wdw file, it would be great if we can put gauge/cross section drawing wide even project wide automatically instead of clicking each wire one by one. It could be placed according to wire number location or can be defined in the project properties like Wire Number Placement.          Show More

I have to add 2nd cable marker for my drawings, especially if one of the cable end is in the other page. To assign all cable conductors to a cable, it can be defined in the conductor list for the cables in the catalog. When the cable chosen from the catalog it assigns the wire color/ID automatically. But it only works for the 1st cable marker. When the 2nd cable marker is added it shows a message "no more cable conductors available". It would be nice if it show/assign the wire color/ID to the marker automatically after putting 2nd marker. It is possible to choose/define wire color for the 2nd cable markers BUT it is needed to select all core's symbol and type or select from Generic Colors one by one. It is very time consuming for the cables have much cores.                 Show More

It is possible to export the Terminal Strip to Wago. The exported .xml file is compatible with Wago ProServe 6.0. The thing is that Wago ProServe does not exist anymore, and Wago has another tool for digital engineering, which is called WAGO Configurator Smart Designer. Seems the .xml export from ACADE is not compatible with the WAGO Configurator Smart Designer so it is possible to export but impossible to import the .xml to the WAGO designer. It is crucial to use WAGO designer to industrialize the terminal strip to check the compatibility of all parts used in ACADE. It would be great working with exported .xml and Wago Designer.     Show More

Hello,  Since all drawings in a project are independent, it is not possible to search/find a text project wide. If we need to find something we need to go each drawing one by one and use the "find" command. It would be nice if there will be an extra box to find texts project wide in the Surfer window under the Project tab on the ribbon.     It would be the next level if it could be used for find/replace with this new feature. There is a feature to find/edit/replace project wide but it is for component texts, not for all texts.       Show More

The Equipment List is a good idea, but it is just too difficult to navigate and has too much repetitive information. It does at least contain Item Numbers, otherwise it is a complete miss. The User Defined List is almost a perfect way to insert components, except for 3 huge misses. 1 - allow entry, sorting, renumbering of Item Numbers. 2- allow browsing the catalog to add entries to the list. 3- there is only ONE User Defined List: ws_picklist.mdb, we really need the ability to assign a project level pick list at a minimum.   Or just give us the ability to customize the User Defined List dialog to our heart's content.   Show More

While Autodesk encourage AutoCAD users to work with DOCS, I was wondering lately why they won't do any improvements to DOCS to be able to work with AutoCAD Electrical. As far as I know (from experience) you can use it as a storage only for DWG files. Any other files that AutoCAD Electrical is using is not supported. Imagine uploading your components, database and menus to the DOCS and working from any place and sharing the data with your colleagues. Isn't sound great? I bet most of the companies with love to use DOCS instead of creating local deployment. Let me know what do you think guys. Roy Perry Show More

I would like to see dialog boxes made resizable. Many of the dialog boxes are not resizable, which has been an ongoing condition for many years. Also, those that are expandable, do not retain the updated size upon exiting the command. Is this something that can be practically implemented? Show More

Olá bom dia! Gostaria de colaborar com a ideia no sentido de otimização de tempo durante o processo de configurações nos comandos Styles (Dimension, Text, Multileader, Table) dos softwares AutoCAD. É de conhecimento de todos que primeiramente precisamos realizar todas as configurações nos arquivos template e posteriormente utilizando esses como base para elaboração de novos desenhos. Perfeito!!!  O que acontece em diversas vezes é que ao receber desenhos de pessoas que não tem essa base de conhecimento, precisamos ter que ajustar tais configurações tomando bastante tempo sendo que poderia ser facilmente resolvido quando qualquer entidade (objeto) já configurada de outro desenho fosse inserida no desenho corrente assumindo as configurações automaticamente. Exemplo: Quando inserimos algum objeto no desenho corrente ele carrega automaticamente os layers, tipos de linhas e outras propriedades. O mesmo poderia ser feito com Mutileader, por exemplo! Se no desenho corrente o Multileader Style não estiver configurado e ao inserir qualquer Leader de um desenho já configurado, o estilo do desenho corrente poderia assumir as configurações, minimizando tempo nos ajustes das caixas de diálogos dos comando que tem Styles. Na imagem abaixo o desenho em elaboração não está com o Multileader Style configurado e ao inserir um leader configurado de outro desenho nada acontece porque é preciso configurar o Multileader Style ou aplicar o Match Propertieis copiando as propriedades do Leader certo e aplicando no errado. Dessa forma o problema é resolvido momentâneo, pois ao fazer um novo Leader, por ele não está configurado, será construído sem configurações.   Abraços,   Show More

What if someone from Autodesk actually went through this forum, and made us feel heard at least! As of now it's just an echo chamber for users wanting improvements to AutoCAD Electrical.   Out of the almost 900 ideas here this is the status:   Under Review: 109  (Last update from Autodesk: February 2016) Future consideration: 105 (Last update from Autodesk: May 2016) Accepted (but not implemented): 11 (Last update from Autodesk: April 2015) Implemented: 12 (Last update from Autodesk: April 2020) Future consideration: 12 (Last update from Autodesk: October 2015)   The rest are "Gathering support".
