Converting Autocad Electrical to Eplan

One of my customers has asked for their drawings to be supplied in Eplan format.  Is it possible, and if so, how do I convert a project / drawings to Eplan format???

The answer is NO.

EPlan is database-driven by its own proprietary database structure.  There is no conversion utility available to transfer from the open architecture of AutoCAD Electrical into the proprietary database structure of EPlan.

You cannot export to eplan, but eplan can import DWG-files. However, the drawings will be "dumb" like paper drawings.

Basically no, but standard layers can be converted to ePLAN layers, however the intelligence will be lost.  This article explains how to convert drawings from DWG/DXF to ePLAN, in the case it is inevitable (For example if a company or department has made the decision to switch tools).  In my opinion it is probably better to just redraw in a other tool.  However, here is the article in case it is relevant.
