Pierre Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 To begin in the drawing of electrical/automation system you only need basic knowledge. Lines, circles, rectangles, squares and text is enough to get you going. After you are familiar with it you can use some examples and menus. Sorry there is no shortcuts. You have to practice. The help files are very good in this software. Use them. Once you are drawings schematices then you can use add-ons and libraries. You will know why using them and why not. You must first screw-up a few times before you begin to understand the architecture of a schematic and how not to do it in CAD softwares. Pratice, practice practice. Tutorials that lead you to 3D is not good for you. Be carefull. Your time is important. Quote
