2D and 3D Electrical Panel Layouts

July 30, 2024
Thorough electrical design work goes beyond a 2D schematic. Bringing that design into the real world smoothly requires evaluation of the spatial requirements and constraints of the cabinet that houses those components. SOLIDWORKS Electrical provides an environment with flexible design options for creating these panel layouts, and this webinar will go over those options and what they can do to assist in bringing your designs off of paper and into the real world.

2D Panel layouts are included in every SOLIDWORKS Electrical package, and we will walk through the library requirements, panel creation, ballooning, and reporting. For SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic professional users or those interested in learning more about Electrical 3D, we’ll insert components into SOLIDWORKS and show how to quickly create a 2D drawing. Since both of these processes have the same end goal too, we’ll go over some key distinctions why you would use Electrical 3D over the 2D cabinet layout.

After this webinar, you will:
- Understand more about creating 2D electrical panel layouts in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
- Understand more about creating 3D electrical panel layouts within SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D
- Be able to assess which tool is best for your designs and workflow
- Know more about component libraries and what information they can contain
