Naming (Project, Installation, Drawing)

Uses replaceable parameters to name projects (%P), installations (%I), drawing file names (%S), and folders. Replaceable parameters take on the values from the promis·e mapping files, however you can add additional characters.

Conversion Setup

Specifies pre- and post-processing script files to run against the entire project, and the AutoCAD Electrical support files to use (Default_wdtitle.wdl and Default.wdt). After you select the desired support file, it is renamed and placed in the same folder as the new project definition file (*.WDP). You also have the option to save the command line error message to a log file.

Symbol Libraries

Opens the Project Properties Project Settings dialog box for selecting library search paths and icon menu files for the new project.

Conversion destination (base folder)

Specifies the AutoCAD Electrical project path. It is where the new project folder and drawing files are located. A path must be specified before the conversion can take place.
