How Automation has put the Spark back into Electrical Schematics

January 15, 2026

This video demonstrates how automation in SOLIDWORKS Electrical streamlines the creation of electrical schematics. It explains common challenges in traditional 2D tools like AutoCAD, including manual wire drawing, disconnected BOM creation and error‑prone updates. The presenter shows how automated libraries, intelligent symbols, integrated reports, hyperlinks and rapid wire numbering significantly reduce design time while improving accuracy. It highlights additional tools such as macros, PLC automation, Excel‑driven schematic generation and seamless 3D integration for routing, panel layouts and harness design. Customer examples illustrate how these capabilities enhance workflow efficiency, reduce costs and improve documentation quality across various industries.
