AutoCAD Electrical has all the tools of AutoCAD, plus automation tools like automated wire numbering and automatic reports. It also includes a catalog for electrical schematic design, reporting, and panel layouts. 

AutoCAD Electrical is a project-based system. Each project is defined by an ASCII text file with a .wdp extension. This project file contains a list of project information, default project settings, drawing properties, and drawing file names. 

AutoCAD Electrical allows users to orbit, zoom, and swivel around a 3D model. Users can choose the Wireframe, Realistic, or Shaded visual style for better 3D performance. 3D models can be opened in AutoCAD LT
