After you choose the conversion options you want, you can save time by saving the settings that you commonly use.
You will probably convert drawing files multiple times during a project. The DWG Convert feature provides a method to name and save your conversion settings. The Conversion Setups dialog box displays a list of saved conversion setups from which you can select each time you convert a set of files.
The default conversion setup is named Standard. Starting from this conversion setup, you can create one or more new conversion setups with appropriate names. Then you can modify or delete them as needed.
If you convert drawings using the same settings each time, then you can simply modify the Standard conversion setup to your requirements, and you do not need to save additional ones.
