Task: Detect What Changes Were Made to Your Drawings While
They Were in the Customer’s Hands
AutoCAD Electrical drawings can be viewed and edited by any DWG compatible program such as AutoCAD, or AutoCAD
®
LT.
When you get drawings back from outside sources, AutoCAD Electrical can create a report of what was done to them
while they were out of your control. Also, when your design process reaches the point where a new revision is to be issued,
AutoCAD Electrical can create a report of changes made to the drawings since the last revision update.
Steps
1. Run the “Mark” part of the Mark/Verify command on the
small project drawing set prior to releasing the drawing set
to the customer for “approval.”
2. Now imagine that these drawings are in the customer’s
hands. Use various basic AutoCAD editing commands to
make alterations to the design and component rating values.
3. Now the drawings are back in your hands. Create a list of
the changes that the customer appears to have made to the
drawing set.
Study Results
There are no dedicated tools included within AutoCAD to perform a quantifiable comparison of this workflow, and therefore
there was no time recorded. In order to provide you with an accurate measurement to compare against your current
workflow, we have included the basic steps and time allotment to perform such tasks in AutoCAD Electrical.
The benefits of this feature should become self evident to any user who performs theses tasks via tedious drawing reviews or
an engineering change order process. In either case, the inherent nature of these manual processes leaves you susceptible to
design errors from missed edits.
Advantages of AutoCAD Electrical
• Automatic tracking of modifications
• Accepts changes from AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT
®
software, or any DWG™-compatible program
• Report generation of design revisions

Time Saving with AutoCAD Electrical —There are no dedicated tools included within AutoCAD to
perform a quantifiable comparison. AutoCAD Electrical is clearly the more capable and efficient application.
Easily exchange data with customers or suppliers in native DWG format. Edit
and view AutoCAD Electrical drawings in any DWG-compatible program, such
as AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT software. When designs are edited by outside
sources, AutoCAD Electrical can create a report of any modifications made to
the drawings by others. Also, when you are ready to issue a new revision to
your design process, AutoCAD Electrical can create a report of changes made
to the drawings since the last revision update.
