Many of our customers often wait to start using the newest releases of Autodesk and other software products until a service pack has been released. If you happen to work for one of these companies it’s time to start pushing for your new installs. Autodesk has been releasing the service packs for a variety of their programs. What is a service pack:
A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Many companies, such as Autodesk, typically release a service pack when the number of individual patches to a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit. Installing a service pack is easier and less error-prone than installing a high number of patches individually, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network.
Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc. They may also bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

Today I show how to utilize a PDF files to help build a symbol within AutoCAD Electrical. This is a great way to create your symbols with a lot of detail and all you have to do is trace information from the manufacture PDF file. This will make your projects stand out against your competition.

We often get asked how to add information or catalog data into AutoCAD Electrical. There are two different ways I go about adding this data. In today’s post I look at one way of adding the data via AutoCAD Electrical last week I showed doing this with Microsoft Access. On this topic also we recently hosted an AutoCAD Electrical User Group covering this option and more working with Electrical databases make sure to check that out I have the link listed below.
