MagiCAD Circuit Designer
MagiCAD Circuit Designer is a MagiCAD module for AutoCAD and BricsCAD that builds logical or wiring-first electrical circuits, keeps reference text in sync with data-rich components, and outputs print-ready circuit diagrams with a flexible symbol library.
MagiCAD Circuit Designer targets electrical designers, engineers, contractors, and switchboard builders who need schematic-style circuit work inside CAD. You can begin from the logical network or from physical wiring, and the module refreshes reference annotations as you swap or configure components.
Unlike some MagiCAD bundles that also list Revit, the Circuit Designer product page states full integration with AutoCAD and BricsCAD only. That distinction matters when your standards rely on Autodesk Revit for model authoring but still need circuit documentation inside DWG-based workflows.
MagiCAD Group reports that MagiCAD for Revit, AutoCAD, and BricsCAD is used by thousands of companies in more than eighty countries (MagiCAD Group, 2026). Circuit Designer inherits the same support, training, and release cadence as the wider MagiCAD MEP portfolio even though its supported hosts here are the two DWG platforms.
Libraries and manufacturer workflows carry through MagiCAD Cloud and manufacturer product selection, so circuit symbols and equipment choices can reflect real catalog data when your license includes those services.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Fits teams that already standardize on MagiCAD for electrical work in AutoCAD or BricsCAD.
- Supports both logic-first and wiring-first authoring paths.
- Keeps annotations tied to component data to reduce manual label edits.
- Shares MagiCAD Cloud and training resources with the broader MagiCAD ecosystem.
Cons
- Does not list Revit on the official Circuit Designer page, so Revit-only offices need a different workflow.
- Pricing is quote-based through MagiCAD sales channels.
- Depth of symbol and manufacturer coverage depends on your MagiCAD Cloud subscription and regional catalogs.
Key features
Logical or wiring entry: Start diagrams from the logical schematic side or from wiring runs, depending on how your team prefers to iterate.
Auto-updated reference text: Annotation strings track data-rich electrical components so labels stay aligned when parts change.
Native AutoCAD and BricsCAD: Embeds directly in those hosts with tools for drawing, editing, title blocks, and plot-ready circuit outputs.
Symbol control: Ships with a symbol library and supports custom symbol creation when office standards demand bespoke graphics.
Printouts for circuit packages: Produces printable circuit diagram sets suitable for review, permitting, or fabrication handoff.

Frequently asked questions
Does MagiCAD Circuit Designer run inside Revit?
The MagiCAD Circuit Designer product page describes full integration with AutoCAD and BricsCAD and does not list Revit for this module. If you need Revit-native electrical circuits, confirm the current MagiCAD for Revit roadmap with the vendor rather than assuming parity.
Which CAD platforms support MagiCAD Circuit Designer?
Official documentation names AutoCAD and BricsCAD. Tool sections mirror across those hosts for title blocks, drawing and editing, printouts, and symbol libraries.
What does starting from the logical side versus the wiring side mean?
The vendor lets you begin either with the logical circuit relationships or with the physical wiring representation. Pick the path that matches how your discipline models power and control before detail is added.
How are reference texts updated automatically?
MagiCAD describes data-rich electrical components that drive reference text, so labels refresh when component parameters change instead of requiring every note to be edited by hand.
Is MagiCAD Circuit Designer free?
No. MagiCAD sells modules commercially and points buyers to its quote request flow. Obtain a formal quote for your region before budgeting a project.
Can I print circuit diagrams for submittals?
Yes. The feature list includes creating printouts of circuit diagrams, which supports paper or PDF packages for reviews and field use.
