Table of contents
No headersTranslate description text
Converts description or switch position component text from one language to another. When AutoCAD Electrical finishes it displays a report listing what was successfully translated and what was not. You can use this report to surf to the problem areas (where a phrase could not be translated) and make manual edits one by one.
- Click Project tab
Other Tools panel Language Conversion.
- Select to run the command on the entire project, the active drawing, selected drawings, or on selected objects in the drawing.
- Select the "From" and "To" languages to use.
- Specify if multiple lines of the component description text are translated based on exact or partial matches.
By default, the conversion looks for exact matches on the description labels you select with partial match as an option.
- Click OK and the components or drawings you want to process.
Tip: You can add more phrases to the translation table using the Edit Language Database File tool (Project tab Other Tools panel Edit Language Database) and rerun the language swap to obtain more satisfactory results.
