Insert this title block base drawing as a block on each drawing in the project

WDT file method
A text file defines which AutoCAD Electrical values are mapped to the drawing
title block attributes. Use the Title Block Setup utility or any text editor to
create or modify the WDT mapping file. When using the Title Block Setup
utility, open a drawing with the title block inserted as a block.
File Format
The mapping file is created and updated by the Title Block Setup utility. It
can be edited directly using a text editor such as Notepad or WordPad. It is
important to maintain the following format.
The first line defines the title block names. For example,
BLOCK = TITLE
NOTE Title Block Update ignores any line that begins with a semi-colon.
If your title block/revision block consists of multiple blocks, you can encode
two or more block names into the WDT file. For example, the following line
tells AutoCAD Electrical to look for and update blocks called TB, TB-REV, and
TB-ISSUE. Each block name is separate by a comma.
