    There is NO default wdl file with the software. It will simply search the support directory until it finds the first one in the search order.
    Customize LINEx labels
    The generic LINEx labels in the various title block and project description dialog boxes can be customized.
    1. Use any generic text editor such as Notepad or WordPad to create one of the following files:
      • <projname>_wdtitle.wdl - where <projname> matches the name of the active project. Save the file in the same folder as the project WDT file.
      • default_wdtitle.wdl - save the file in the same folder as the project WDT file.
      • default_wdtitle.wdl - save the file in a folder in the AutoCAD Electrical search sequence.
    2. The file contains one line per label in the format LINEx=label. The entries do not have to be in order and line numbers can be skipped. LINE1 = Project Title 1
      LINE2 =Title 2
      LINE3 = Title 3
      LINE4 = Project Number
      LINE5 = Date
      LINE6 = Engineer
      LINE7 = Drawn By
      LINE8 = Checked By
      LINE9 = Scale
    3. Save and exit the text file.
    4. Open AutoCAD Electrical and test.
    Search sequence for .wdl files You can create different WDL files for different projects. The search sequence is as follows:
    1. Look in the same folder as the .WDP file for the project, for a file called <projname>_WDTITLE.WDL where <projname> matches the name of the active project.
    2. Look in the same folder as the .WDP file for the project for a file called DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL.
    3. If WD_ACADPATHFIRST flag is present in wd.env file, look for DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL in ACAD paths.
    4. Look for DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL in the AutoCAD Electrical USER folder.
    5. Look for DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL in the base AutoCAD Electrical folder.
    6. If WD_SUP_ALT is defined in the wd.env file, look for DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL in the specified path.
    7. Look for DEFAULT_WDTITLE.WDL in ACAD paths (if WD_ACADPATHFIRST flag is not set in the wd.env).

    You could also be in a world of hurt with sharing any real project or mapping files if IT installs some as Standalone and other as Network. If ACADe is installed Standalone then it will not look to the network for an env file.
