Woutie Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi all pro's I'm trying to use the CADTutor's training videos for Autocad 2010 Elec. When I installed Autocad initially I selected Mechanical, Elec. and Plumbing. For the life of me I can't get the elec tabs that he has in his video's? Is there away of switching between autocad to autocad elec? If somebody knows, pleaselt me know. Woutie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 AutoCAD Electrical is not AutoCAD vanilla. Do you have AutoCAD Electrical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 You selected the field that you work in...that's all. Just like I selected manufacturing. You would have had to specifically purchase AutoCAD Electrical to gain the necessary features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woutie Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Then I'm lost guys, during the installation it asked me which type of installations I would like, Mech, Elec or Plumbing or all 3? I selected all 3. This is a full version of Autocad 2010 since I get it under my work's license. Would I have to buy then a seperate Autocad specifically the elcertical version?

ReMark Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I would think you would know immediately whether or not you had purchased just plain vanilla AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Click on the link below. Look to the right. There is an image of the plastic holder that contains the program DVD. Does yours look like it? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13846963&siteID=123112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woutie Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 My work has a corporate license so they are allowed to store and run it of a server. Hace no idea what the cover looks like, thanx for your replies anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 If you go to Start>Programs>Autodesk... what does this screen look like? If you don't see AutoCAD Electrical you don't have Electrical. (I don't have Electrical) Doesn't mean you can't do electrical drawings - simply means you don't have the optimized tools for the field.
