Select the setting file and convert the drawing according to it

We can now change the setting file used. Changing the setting file does not affect the elements already in the drawing; the new file will only be applied to new symbols inserted. When we want to apply the new settings file to the elements already in the drawing, we use a specific function.

Do the following:

Select Electrical tab > Settings group > Setting files. The Setting files management dialog opens.
Select the Exercise file.
Click Set as current.
Click the arrow in the Close button and select Close and update drawing. Alternatively, select Select Electrical tab > Settings group > Setting files menu > Convert drawing elements according to current setting file. The Select properties to change dialog opens.
Select what to change. In this exercise, element colors would suffice but selecting all is the easiest option.
Click OK. The program goes through all the layers in the drawing and changes the information according to the setting file.

You cannot cancel the conversion but you can always convert to the old setting file..
