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. Create a projname.wdw file and put in the same directory as
your project file (.WDP). To use the same file for all projects, 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.
There should be a separate line in the file for each AutoCAD Electrical wire
layer. The line has three fields, each field separated by a semi-colon.The first
field is the actual wire layer name used on the drawing. The second field is
the wire layer description. This description is used in the AutoCAD Electrical
Wire Color/Gauge Label tool. The third field is the wire size.
