Specify a Default Drawing Template
With drawing templates you can reuse a set of settings and styles when you
create a new drawing. In Initial Setup you can specify the default drawing
template to use when you create a new drawing. Initial Setup has the following
drawing template options:
Default drawing template. Use the imperial or metric drawing template
that is installed by default.
Existing drawing template. Specify an existing drawing template that is
available on a local or network drive.
If you migrated your custom settings and files from a previous release, the
migrated default drawing template file is listed. For information about
migrating custom settings and files from a previous release, see
Custom Settings
Industry focused drawing template. Use the drawing template that is
associated with the industry you selected in Initial Setup, and either the
imperial or metric measurement type.
Drawing templates are often project- or company-specific to ensure consistent
styles and settings from one drawing to the next. It is recommended that you
use a drawing template that follows your company s CAD standards.
For information about creating a custom drawing template, see "Use a Template
File to Start a Drawing" in the User s Guide.
