Customize project description labels

Define the labels for project description lines displayed on dialog boxes.

The title block and project description dialog boxes in AutoCAD Electrical display generic labels like “LINE1”, “LINE2”, and so on. You can change these labels so they match up with the link to the title block. For example, you have linked the AutoCAD Electrical data “LINE4” value to the “JOB#” attribute on the title block. What you want to see when AutoCAD Electrical displays a title block-related dialog box is not “LINE4” but “Job Number.” A text file with a WDL extension defines the custom labels.

1. Use any generic text editor like Notepad or Wordpad and start a new text file.
2. Enter the lines as shown:

   LINE1 = Title 1

   LINE2 = Title 2

   LINE3 = Title 3

   LINE4 = Job Number

   LINE5 = Date

   LINE6 = Drawn By

   LINE7 = Engineer

   LINE8 = Checked By

   LINE9 = Scale

3. Save the file as AEGS_WDTITLE.WDL in the project folder Users\{username}\Documents\Acade {version}\Aedata\Proj\Aegs.
4. Switch over to AutoCAD Electrical.
5. Click Project tabProject Tools panelManager. Find
6. If AEGS is not the active project, in the Project Manager, right-click AEGS and select Activate.
7. In the Project Manager, right-click the project name, and select Descriptions.

   The labels match the values in the WDL file.
