    Working with projects


    AutoCAD Electrical is a project-based system. An ASCII text with a .wdp extension defines each project. This project file contains a list of project information, default project settings, drawing properties, and drawing file names. You can have an unlimited number of projects; however, only one project can be active at a time. Use the Project Manager to add new drawings, reorder drawing files, and change project settings. You cannot have two projects open in the Project Manager with the same project name. By default, the Project Manager is open and docked on the left-hand side of your screen. You can dock the Project Manager into a specific location on the screen or hide it until you want to use the project tools. Right-click the properties icon to display options to move, size, close, dock, hide, or set the transparency for the Project Manager.

    Working with drawings


    A single project file can have drawings located in many different directories. There is no limit to the number of drawings in a project. You can add drawings to your project at any time. When you create a drawing, using the New Drawing tool, it is automatically added to the active project. Many of the drawing settings used by AutoCAD Electrical are stored in a smart block on the drawing named WD_M.dwg. Each AutoCAD Electrical drawing should contain only one copy of the WD_M block. If multiple WD_M blocks are present, the settings cannot be stored and read consistently.

    Create a drawing
    1 In the Project Manager, click the New Drawing tool. 2 In the Create New Drawing dialog box, specify:
    Name: AEGS11 Description 1: Bill of Materials Report

    3 Click Browse next to the Template edit box. A set of templates (*.dwt files) installed with AutoCAD Electrical contain settings for various kinds of drawings, such as acad.dwt and ACAD_ELECTRICAL.dwt. You can create your own templates, or use any drawing as a template. You can save a drawing at any stage of completion as a template file. When you use a drawing as a template, the settings in that drawing are used in the new drawing. The changes you make to a drawing that is based on a template do not affect the template file. AutoCAD Electrical fully supports the use of AutoCAD template files. To make an AutoCAD drawing compatible with AutoCAD Electrical, select an AutoCAD Electrical command to modify the drawing. 4 In the Select template dialog box, select ACAD_ELECTRICAL.dwt, and click Open.
