To Set Up an Alternate ENV File

How to set up a project-specific environment.

You can create an alternate environment settings ENV file and assign it to the active project. Customer-specific ENV files can be created to store customer settings, paths, libraries, and menus. Whenever the project is selected, the settings in the referenced ENV file are restored automatically.

1. Copy the wd.env file and rename it to a {projectname}.env.
2. Open and edit this new file in an external text editor such as Notepad.
   Note: There is no editing tool or wizard for this purpose within AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
3. Change the path for the library symbols and other settings as required.
4. Save to the same folder as the wd.env file: C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Acade {version}\AeData\.
   Note: All environment files, including the project-specific files, must be located in the same folder as the default wd.env file.
5. Right-click a project name, select Settings, and then click Environment File button to select the project-specific ENV file for use.
