Have you ever wanted to utilize the 3D power of

software with the intelligence of AutoCAD Electri

software for substation protection and control palayouts? Tracing connections from the panel in th

control house to the cable tray and then out to th

equipment in the yard can be a very tedious proc

when you don’t have really good visualization too AutoCAD Electrical software and Inventor softwa

integration, users now have the ability to produce

panel layout in the substation control house in 3D

What is the Purpose?

Collaborate as an industry to establish common

workflows, common toolkit functionality, shared

libraries, common standards, and technology needs.

Form one large utility voice to help drive Autodesk

and AutomationForce to software developmentaccording to an industry standard.

Develop a shared SDS library of substation content

from internal resources, external partners, and/or

equipment manufacturers.
