AutoCAD Electrical – Project Drawing List

In this blog article, we are going to look at how we can create a drawing list from an electrical project in AutoCAD Electrical. 

To run a drawing list report on an electrical project, we first need to right click on the active electrical project and select Drawing List Report.

Select ‘New Report’ and choose which drawings you would like to include in the report.

In report generator, you can choose which columns to include in the report via ‘Change Report Format’.

The report configuration can be used across an electrical team by saving the report type as a settings file (.set).

Note: The report settings file location can be defined within the AutoCAD Electrical environment file (wd.env). An example of this is shown below:

Default Path - C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical *version*\R*release build*\enu\Support\User

Specified Path - C:\Common Electrical\Report Templates

We have the option to either ‘Put on Drawing’ or ‘Save to File’.
