To Convert Third-Party Drawing Files

1. At the Command prompt, enter AEP2E.
2. Select to convert the active drawing, multiple drawings in the active project, or an entire third-party project.
3. Click OK.
4. If you selected Convert Multiple Drawings, Active Project, select the drawings to process and click OK.
5. If you selected Convert Project, select the third-party project mapping file and click Open. Select the drawings to process and click OK.
6. In the Convert Third-Party Project dialog box, select the project to convert and click Open.
7. Select the installation codes to convert.
8. (Optional) Make any changes to project, installation, and drawing naming.
9. (Optional) Make any changes to the conversion setup or symbol libraries.

   Make sure that the specified symbol library path contains the wd_m.dwg block necessary for the conversion.

10. Enter the AutoCAD Electrical toolset project path into the text box.
11. Click OK.
    Note: If the project file exists and is marked active, the conversion cannot finish. You must have another project open so AutoCAD Electrical toolset can temporarily activate the other project, delete the active project (the one being overwritten), write the new .wdp file and reactivate the project.
