Overview of conduit marker support files
AutoCAD Electrical has a couple of support files containing wire size
information and conduit size information: the .wdw file and the .ww1 file.
These files are simple text files that can be edited with any text editor such as
WordPad.
.WDW file
The .WDW file contains the wire information. You may have a different file
for each project.Simply create a projname.wdw file and put in the same
directory as your project file (.WDP). If you want to use the same file for all
projects, then create or modify the DEFAULT.WDW file in the USER folder
(in the Project Manager, right-click the project name and select Settings to
find the full path).
