Snapshot
Our comprehensive course on SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic has been revised and improved, expanding the number of subjects covered to include updated tools and workflows. The tools included with this standalone program are exceptionally valuable for 2D schematic work involving embedded electrical systems and are commonly used to assist in the development of electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic schematics, as well as P&ID documentation. Complex tasks such as contact cross-referencing, terminal strip drawings, wire/device numbering, and generation of reports such as Bill of Materials and Wire Lists can be automated to dramatically improve the efficiency of schematic design.

Course Highlights & Updates
This edition of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic covers additionally covers the most recent seven years of software development and includes several new capabilities that were previously unavailable, offering a complete learning experience for the most recent version of the software. Our subject matter experts have worked to ensure that this curriculum answers the most common and important technical questions for students and industry professionals alike, and that the examples provided will prepare viewers to begin actively using the software in a working environment.
Using the Move and Stretch commands to modify an existing schematic
Over an hour of updated material has been added, including valuable subject matter covering design rule checks, harnessing, cabinet layouts, and strategies for reusing design data with the SOLIDWORKS Electrical Library for more efficient designs. Many subjects are explored at a greater level of detail than what is typically provided in live training, and as a result this course can replace in-person training for many users. New lessons for this edition include (but are not limited to):
- Project and Application data storage
- Project configuration
- Circuits and Connection Points
- Creating cabinet layout drawings
- Design Rule Checks (DRC)
- 3 new lessons on Harness design
- 3 new lessons on adding assets to the Electrical Library, including:
- Manufacturer parts
- Cables
- 2D footprint symbols
Using the Design Rule Check utility to address unused wires in a schematic
Many existing lessons have also been updated for clarity and expanded in scope to introduce and demonstrate new features. Additionally, several lessons have been reorganized to provide additional clarity throughout the course.
Who is this series for?
Electrical designers who need to develop and manage single-line, multiline, or mixed 2D electrical schematics, automate repetitive or error-prone tasks associated with schematic development, and generate custom reports. Users whose design projects use SOLIDWORKS as the primary CAD platform can expect to see greater benefits with respect to ECAD-MCAD collaboration capabilities.
This course is not intended for users interested in 3D routing of wires/cables or direct integration of electrical schematics/components in SOLIDWORKS CAD models. For more information on these capabilities, please visit our course on SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D.
How can you use these tools?
- Quickly develop 2D electrical schematics
- Represent wires, cables, and harnesses
- Use standard and custom electrical symbols
- Automate cross-referencing and terminal strip drawings
- Create panel layout drawings
- Incorporate PLCs, VFDs and controllers
- Generate reports (Bill of Materials, Wire From/To lists, cable list, PLC I/O lists, etc.)
- Perform design rule checks on electrical projects
- Improve ECAD-MCAD collaboration
- Reuse existing design data
- Real time multiuser collaboration on an electrical project
