Add a Drawing To a Project

Perform the following task to allow Meridian to manage the references correctly when adding existing drawings to a project.

To add an existing drawing to a project:

1. Copy the drawing to the shared workspace folder.
2. In AutoCAD Electrical, add the drawing to the project.
3. Open the drawing for editing. This will import it to the vault automatically.

4. Synchronize the references from the project file (.wdp) as described in Synchronize References.

   Note:

   To enable the synchronization commands in PowerWeb for AutoCAD Electrical project files, the WDP file extension must be added to value of CADLinkExtensions in the following registry key on the Meridian web server as described in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\WebLink
