For firms to operate as efficiently as possible, it’s essential to manage and maintain software. This means organizing multiple users, as well as upgrading to newer versions as they are released. With AutoCAD Electrical, the WD.ENV file can help streamline these tasks and make them less onerous.
The WD.ENV allows IT and CAD Managers to set company standards. This helps users work more efficiently and also establishes a common “look and feel” for the company. Adding the path to the shared WD.ENV file on each user’s machine results in global sharing of settings. In addition, using the WD.ENV file as a template smooths the transition to software upgrades.
There are a wide variety of commands within the WD.ENV file that can be used to customize standards in AutoCAD Electrical. These include paths for symbol insertion and libraries, catalog parts databases, project and drawings, plotting and reporting, menus, and more.
