AutoCAD Electrical is AutoCAD for designers of electrical control systems. AutoCAD Electrical includes all the features of AutoCAD, as well as a set of specialized functions for designing electrical control systems. Automation of common tasks and extensive libraries of symbols save a lot of time, which can now be devoted to innovative developments.

The program helps to automate typical design tasks. AutoCAD Electrical includes all the features of AutoCAD, as well as a set of specialized functions for electrical design. Automation of common tasks and extensive convention libraries help you increase productivity and stay competitive.


New opportunities
- SQL Catalog Support for Autodesk Vault
AutoCAD Electrical now supports the SQL Catalog database for BOM in Autodesk Vault.
- The
Trace strip provides a secure space to collaborate on drawing changes in the AutoCAD web and mobile apps without the risk of changing an existing drawing. Tracing can be compared to a virtual collaborative tracing that is overlaid on a drawing, allowing participants to provide feedback directly on the drawing.
- Number
Fast and accurate count of the number of instances of objects in the drawing. You can insert a quantity data table into the current drawing.
- Floating drawing windows
You can now drag a drawing file tab outside the AutoCAD application window to make it a floating window.
- Share current drawing
Share a link to a copy of the current drawing for viewing or editing in the AutoCAD web application. All related xrefs and DWG images are included.
- Upload to Autodesk Docs (subscription resource)
The Upload to Autodesk Docs module allows design teams to use digital PDF files for reference while on site. The Upload to Autodesk Docs module allows you to upload AutoCAD PDF drawings to a specific Autodesk Docs project.
- New Home
Tab Design The Home tab has been redesigned to include a new welcome screen for Autodesk products.
- Preview of 3D Graphics
This release includes a preview of a completely new cross-platform 3D graphics system developed for AutoCAD that takes full advantage of today's GPUs and multi-core processors. It provides additional ease of navigation when working with larger drawings than previous versions.
- Installer
Installing and deploying 2023 software is faster and more reliable.


List of changes made
What has been changed by the author of the assembly:
- The assembly is based on the original Russian and English distributions combined into a single package, from which everything that is not directly related to the installation of the Electrical add-on has been removed.
- Disabled the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 compatibility check that prevented the product from being installed next to a 32-bit version of Microsoft Office.
- For a modern installer, a solution was developed and implemented for choosing the interface language of the installed program.
- The interface language of the installer itself is set based on the OS interface language.
- Since the so-called "classic interface" was missing in Electrical by default, I considered it possible to restore it for the afflicted.
- The assembly does not include medicine. The cure is included in my build of AutoCAD 2023, on top of which it is recommended to install this addon.
