SEE Electrical Training

Lesson 1 • Workspace Layout and Navigation

Introduces the main window, toolbars, and panel areas. Familiarity with the layout accelerates all subsequent design tasks.

Lesson 2 • Project Structure and File Types

Explains how SEE Electrical organises projects, folders, and file formats. Understanding this hierarchy prevents data loss and supports team collaboration.

Lesson 3 • Configuration and Preferences

Sets up language, units, grid, and default drawing parameters. Proper configuration ensures consistent output across all project drawings.

Lesson 1 • Adding Text and Annotations

Covers text insertion, label formatting, and annotation placement on schematics. Clear annotations improve drawing readability and reduce interpretation errors.

Lesson 2 • Placing and Editing Wires

Teaches wire placement, routing, and editing techniques for schematic connections. Accurate wiring is the foundation of readable and functional schematics.

Lesson 3 • Inserting Symbols from Libraries

Demonstrates how to browse, search, and place standard electrical symbols. Correct symbol use ensures compliance with industry drawing conventions.

Lesson 4 • Basic Drawing Checks and Cleanup

Introduces visual inspection routines and basic error-checking before saving. Early error detection reduces rework in later design stages.

Lesson 1 • Creating Custom Symbols

Guides students through drawing symbol geometry, defining connection points, and saving new symbols. Custom symbols extend the software to match project-specific components.

Lesson 2 • Editing and Updating Existing Symbols

Covers techniques for modifying symbols and propagating changes to placed instances. Controlled updates maintain drawing consistency without manual rework.

Lesson 3 • Organising and Sharing Libraries

Teaches library categorisation, export, and import workflows for team environments. Shared libraries reduce duplication and enforce company-wide symbol standards.

Lesson 1 • Bill of Materials Configuration

Configures BOM templates, sorting rules, and output formats from component data. A well-structured BOM directly supports procurement and project documentation.

Lesson 2 • Connecting to Component Databases

Demonstrates linking SEE Electrical to internal or manufacturer component databases. Database-driven design reduces manual entry errors and keeps data current.

Lesson 3 • Managing Component References

Covers automatic and manual reference designation schemes across multi-page projects. Consistent references are essential for accurate cross-referencing and reports.

Lesson 1 • Integrating Power and Control Schematics

Connects power circuit pages to control circuit pages using shared signal references. Integration ensures that power and control designs remain synchronised throughout the project.

Lesson 2 • Cross-Reference Symbols and Links

Teaches placement and configuration of cross-reference markers between schematic pages. Accurate cross-references allow technicians to trace circuits across the full document set.

Lesson 3 • Multi-Page Project Organisation

Establishes page numbering, naming conventions, and folder structures for large projects. Organised page management prevents navigation errors and supports team workflows.

Lesson 4 • Project-Level Design Review

Runs project-wide checks for missing references, unconnected signals, and page inconsistencies. Systematic review at this stage prevents costly errors in fabrication.

Lesson 1 • Terminal Plan Generation

Generates graphical terminal plans from schematic data automatically. Terminal plans provide assembly teams with precise wiring instructions for panel build.

Lesson 2 • Terminal Strip Design

Covers terminal symbol placement, strip configuration, and terminal numbering rules. A correctly designed terminal strip directly drives the terminal plan report.

Lesson 3 • Connection List and Wire Schedule

Produces from-to connection lists and wire schedules from schematic wiring data. These documents guide panel wiring and support quality inspection processes.

Lesson 1 • Drawing Revision Management

Tracks drawing revisions using revision blocks, change logs, and version stamps. Controlled revisions protect design integrity and support regulatory audit trails.

Lesson 2 • Report Types and Templates

Surveys all built-in report types and explains their template structure. Selecting the right report type for each deliverable ensures accurate and complete documentation.

Lesson 3 • Exporting and Publishing Documentation

Exports drawings and reports to PDF, Excel, and other formats for distribution. Proper export settings preserve formatting and ensure recipients receive accurate files.

Lesson 4 • Customising Report Layouts

Modifies report headers, columns, fonts, and sorting to match company standards. Custom layouts reduce post-export formatting work and enforce brand consistency.

Lesson 1 • Scripting and API Integration

Introduces the SEE Electrical scripting interface for custom automation beyond built-in tools. API integration enables connection to ERP, PLM, and other enterprise systems.

Lesson 2 • Project and Page Templates

Builds reusable project and page templates that embed company standards from the start. Templates eliminate setup time and enforce consistency across all new projects.

Lesson 3 • Macro Creation and Management

Records, edits, and organises macros that automate repetitive drawing sequences. Macros cut insertion time for standard circuit blocks across large projects.

Lesson 4 • Automated Numbering and Naming Rules

Configures rule-based automatic numbering for wires, components, and cables. Consistent automated naming reduces human error and speeds up large-project setup.
