To let everyone know, I will be using AutoCAD electrical 2027 but it all should apply to all other versions of AcadE. Unfortunately, Autodesk hasn’t really made any changes or updates since 2007. The only major update I am aware of is I believe 2018 when they allowed companies to migrate from Microsoft access to SQL database. Which most companies don’t take advantage of to their detriment especially if they have a multitude of users. Most companies I work at /with just opening a drawing or opening the database to apply a part takes between 8-20 seconds. My experience with switching to SQL drops all that down to less than 3 seconds. If anyone else has questions please just msg me.

Hi everyone, First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the delay. I promised to have our training videos starting back in January, and I am deeply sorry for letting you down. To be completely transparent with you, the last few months have been incredibly challenging. I lost my job right around the Christmas holidays and spent January transitioning into a new company. Shortly after that, I faced a major health scare, a borderline stroke. Going through that health scare gave me a massive wake-up call and a renewed sense of urgency. It made me realize how important it is to get all of this specialized knowledge out of my head and share it with the next generation. What you are getting in this program isn't just my own experience; it is the culmination of 30 years of wisdom passed down to me by hundreds of brilliant mentors. Combine that with my unique, fast-paced brain, fueled by a mix of ADHD/OCD and an absolute obsession with workflow efficiency, and you get a very practical, highly optimized way of designing. This weekend, June 13th and 14th, I am officially starting. I am launching a "Starter Program" with short, punchy, and foundational videos. They are designed specifically for absolute beginners who have never opened AutoCAD Electrical before. My goal is for you to learn something new and valuable with every single video. To help me tailor this exactly to what you need, please drop any specific questions you have in the comments. I will create targeted video responses to answer them. Lastly, please be a bit gracious with me on the production value! I am definitely not a video or sound editing master yet, but I promise to get better and more polished the more videos I do. Thank you so much for your patience, your understanding, and for sticking with me. Let's build something great together.

I teach because I enjoy helping teams work faster and make fewer mistakes. At most companies I become the go-to person for AutoCAD and, in the last two decades, AutoCAD Electrical. Plus, my coworkers keep bugging me to do it. Background I started on a drafting board in the late 1980s, moved to AutoCAD on MS-DOS 5.1, and have worked through every major CAD and Windows release since 1990. Consulting has given me a wide view—45 companies across 27 cities in 7 states, more than 500 projects, and 300+ end customers. I’m still learning; I picked up a new command last week because a customer relies on it. Selected organizations supported U.S. (Air Force, Army, Navy); Rolls-Royce Energy; Cooper Industries; Parker Hannifin; Tecumseh Products; Saturn; Ford; and public agencies including the States of Indiana and Ohio and Michigan and the Cities of Indianapolis, Toledo, Columbus, and Detroit. Project domains Steel and glass furnaces; oil & gas pump stations; wastewater treatment facilities; schools, colleges, and universities; hospitals; federal and state correctional facilities; and manufacturing systems for components used in the Space Shuttle era. What you can expect Straightforward standards, repeatable workflows, and clear documentation tuned for electrical engineers and designers—so your teams and panel shops move quickly with fewer revisions. I’m here to share what works and tailor it to your environment.

Hey everyone, quick update: I added a new item to the Classroom section. If you run into any issues, ask here or DM me. I’m still new to Skool, so thanks for your patience. I plan to post other videos soon. I am happy to record a demo run-through if that helps. Feedback welcome, and I hope this is useful!

Here’s a quick AutoCAD Electrical reference guide that I usually print for people. It’s designed to be pinned up on a wall or kept in a desk drawer so it’s easy to glance at whenever needed.
