	Command	Description
	Add Geometry AEGEOMETRY	Adds AutoCAD geometry to a template block file to be created as part of a unique block instance. It creates a new block definition with the newly added geometry. You can subsequently create a new block file if the block is exploded.
	Add Wire Connections AEWIRECONN	Adds wire connection attributes to the existing tagged block file. Select line endpoints or geometry to add the appropriate wire connection attributes to. A new block definition is created with the newly added wire connections. You can subsequently create a new block file if the block is exploded.
	Special Explode AEEXPLODE	Explodes attributes and blocks to geometry and text entities while maintaining the value previously defined in the attributes. You can take advantage of the tagging tools to modify the text entities to attributes and the linking tools to make various blocks.
	Convert Ladder AE2LADDER	Converts the upper-most line reference number on a non-intelligent ladder to be AutoCAD Electrical toolset-aware.
	Change/Convert Wire Type AECONVERTWIRETYPE	Changes between wire types and converts lines to wires. Use the grid control to sort and select the wire types for easy modification.
	Check/Repair Gap Pointers AEGAPPOINTER	Verifies that the invisible Xdata pointers on both sides of a wire gap/loop are valid. If not, appropriate pointers are established.
	Change Attribute Size AEATTSIZE	Changes attribute text size when components or wire numbers have already been inserted onto your drawings.
	Xdata Editor AEXDATA	Allows display and edit of an object's “1000” type extended entity data (Xdata).
	Convert to Schematic Component AEBLK2SCH	Takes non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset blocks or graphics representing a symbol and replaces it with an AutoCAD Electrical toolset block and transfers the attribute or text values to this new AutoCAD Electrical toolset block.
	Convert Block to Source Arrow AEBLK2SRC	Replace a non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset source arrow with a smart AutoCAD Electrical toolset source arrow and maps the information to the new AutoCAD Electrical toolset source.
	Convert Block to Destination Arrow AEBLK2DEST	Replaces a non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset destination arrow with a smart AutoCAD Electrical toolset destination arrow.
	Block Replacement AEBLOCKREPLACE	Performs drawing-wide and project-wide block replacements using a user-defined spreadsheet. This automatically maps the unconverted drawing's non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset block inserts and attributes to appropriate AutoCAD Electrical toolset-smart component symbols drawn from a symbol library.
	Swap/Update Block AESWAPBLOCK	Use to update or change blocks in place. Attribute values are retained during the swapping process. Wire connections are also maintained even if the new symbol is slightly wider or narrower than the original.
	Convert Text to Wire Numbers AETEXT2WIRENO	Converts a text object to an AutoCAD Electrical toolset compatible wire number.
	Convert Text to Attribute Definition AETEXT2ATT	Converts a text object into an attribute definition object. This is not an attribute associated to an already-inserted block. This is an attribute definition possibly on a library symbol that becomes an attribute when the symbol drawing is inserted as a block into another drawing.
	Add Attribute AEATTRIBUTE	Adds a new attribute to an existing instance of a block insert.
	Map Attributes from Old to New AEMAPATT	Reassigns attributes from a converted block to those expected by AutoCAD Electrical toolset. This allows you to continue what you started with Convert to Schematic Component. Use this if you did not finish mapping values from your non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset block.
	Stretch Wire AESTRETCTWIRE	Lengthens a wire until it meets another wire or an AutoCAD Electrical toolset component.
