Dear MRs shauna,

Do you know any websites or links where I can learn autoCAD electrical....to do single line diagrams (2D) please?

Thanks a lot

Yours sincerely

Answer
Hi Diren,

If you are a student, you can get an Autodesk student version of the software. If you are not a student you can get a 30 day trial. Both of those are through the Autodesk website.  Other than that, you can join AUGI - Autocad Users Group International - and there are forums for specific software.

Don't underestimate the Help file! I have built a career on being the person who reads the help file. There are examples of how commands work as well as the concepts behind them.

There are several websites for information about symbols used in one-line, elementary diagrams. Google is your best friend there, but here is one to get you started: http://www.symbols.net/electrical/

Good Luck!
