After you choose the conversion options you want, you can save time by
saving the settings that you commonly use.
You will probably convert drawing files multiple times during a project. The
DWG Convert feature provides a method to name and save your conversion
settings. The Conversion Setups dialog box displays a list of saved conversion
setups from which you can select each time you convert a set of files.
The default conversion setup is named Standard. Starting from this conversion
setup, you can create one or more new conversion setups with appropriate
names. Then you can modify or delete them as needed.
