In this dialog, you can specify the settings for the export of a project to the EPDZ format. The EPDZ format can be read via the dropbox on mobile devices (for example iPad) by means of the EPLAN View App. The EPDZ file contains the project properties, page properties, and layout space properties, and thus also the complete project structure. In addition, the EPDZ file contains for each project page an SVG file with the 2D vector graphic, and for each layout space an E3D file with the 3D graphical data.

Note:

The function for exporting a project into an EPDZ file for usage in EPLAN Smart Wiring is located under the menu items Utilities > Manufacturing data > EPLAN Smart Wiring.
