Try updating the Title Block from the Project Manager. Notice all of the
updated labels.
Specify client-specific library symbols
If the client has special symbols or text size settings that are different from
the default libraries provided with the AutoCAD Electrical product, create and
maintain a client-specific symbol library subdirectory with smart AutoCAD
Electrical symbols that have been adjusted to meet that standards of the client.
When you start a new project for this client, set the AutoCAD Electrical Symbol
Library path to point at the library of the client.
1 In the Project Manager, right-click the project name, and select Properties.
2 In the Project Properties Project Settings dialog box, click the plus
sign (+) next to Schematic Libraries. Click Add and enter the path of the
library into the edit box. Make it the first or only path listed.
It causes AutoCAD Electrical to look in the client-specific symbol library
first before going to a default AutoCAD Electrical symbol library.
3 Click OK.
NOTE Make sure you also update the Panel Footprint Library path.
Start a project for a client
1 Create and save the AutoCAD Electrical project .wdp file to the base
subdirectory of the client where the default.wdt and wdtitle.wdl files are
stored. Make sure that the new project also points at the symbol library
of the client.
The actual drawings for the project can be stored anywhere but you might
want to store them in a "job number" subdirectory under the base client
subdirectory. For example, for client "Campbell" you have a new project,
12345. Under the N:\campbell.nap network drive subdirectory, create
subdirectory n:\campbell.nap\12345. It is where to save the drawings
for that project.
2 Create a project and save it to the base subdirectory.
For example, create project P12345.wdp and save it to
n:\campbell.nap\P12345.wdp (along with any other Campbell projects
that were already created). They are all grouped in this base subdirectory,
but their drawing sets are isolated into unique job number subdirectories).
