Autodesk 24108-051400-9000 - AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2008 User Manual page 215

This is the quickest and easiest way to create a project with predefined settings and support files. When you use this
method, the following files and structures are copied to the new project:
All project DWG files and XML files
Project standards files
AutoCAD standards files
Project standards synchronization settings
Sheet set template
Project details
Drawing templates
Keynote and detail component databases
Project tool palette group
Tool content root path
Project Content Browser library
NOTE Project standards files, the project tool palette group, and the project Content Browser library are copied to the new
project only if they are located within the original project folder. Standard components located outside the project folder will
be referenced by the new project, but not copied to it.
Creating a new project based on a template will copy all files that are in the project folder. If you want only the support
files and structure of the project to be copied, but not its drawing files, see
of an Existing Project" on page 176.
If you redirected any categories in the project in which the template is located, this option is not available. For more
information, see Specifying the Location of Top-Level
