To Map the Family Codes Used in Component Tags

Use a wd_fam.dat file to change the default family code for a component type.

1. Open a blank file using a text editor such as Notepad.
2. Enter the family codes you want to map to different values using the format: {old value}:{new value}. One line for each mapping value. For example:

   LT:LITE

   CR:K

   CB:QA

3. Save the file as wd_fam.dat. Select a path based on whether it is for a specific project or to be used for all projects. The following search order is used:
   1. User subdirectory: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical {version}\{release}\{country code}\Support\User\
   2. Active project's .wdp file subdirectory
   3. All paths defined under AutoCAD Options Files Support Files Search Path
