But enhanced with Spatial Business Systems Substation Design Suite™ of powerful, purpose-built tools riding on top of AcadE, it becomes even better! Welcome to Spatial Business System’s SDS Tools for electrical controls design (intro video here). The Autodesk® AutoCAD® Electrical software (AcadE) is great for plant, machine, and substation electrical controls design. If you like AcadE, you’ll really like this. ( Note: the following is one of the things I’ve been deeply involved with over the last ten years.

This way you only type in the Drawing Number once and fill in all title blocks from that one entry by doing a project-wide title block update.įor more about these functions type title block update or replaceable parameters into the Electrical Helps search.= View blog posting PDF in Acrobat (much clearer screenshots) Over 58 Ways To Enhance AutoCAD Electrical To Provide Better Faster Smoother Electrical Controls Design = values in the project_wdtitle.wdl file and mapping it as DWG_NUMBER = LINE1, for example. If your drawing is always the same though, I would suggest Prompting for it as one of the LINE1, LINE2, etc. wdt file or WD_TB attribute and ACADE would drop the contents of DWGNAM for each page into attribute DWG_NUMBER. If you have an attribute called DWG_NUMBER, you would type DWG_NUNBER = DWGNAM into your. To get the Drawing Number (%D) into the title block automatically you would set up your project.wdt file, or the WD_TB attribute if you are using that method, with a line that reads = DWGNAM. You could have your wire numbers assigned as 1235 if on sheet 1 line 105. Say each sheet in your drawing set has a unique drawing number (i.e. replaceable parameter) can be added to wire numbers or component tagging if you wish. This value can be mapped to the title block as the DWGNAM.

Click on Drawing Configuration and enter your drawing number as the %D value or in the Drawing Field.
