AutoCAD MEP Templates

Once you establish project standards, you can create custom templates that are unique to your project. You
can create a custom template in several ways:
(Recommended) Modify an existing template.
Save a drawing as a template.
Create the template from scratch.
RELATED See "Use a Template File to Start a Drawing" in the AutoCAD Help.

Default Drawing Templates

Drawing templates store default preferences, controls, and content common to all drawings in a project.
You can start on a project immediately by using a template. This saves time and provides consistency when
creating multiple drawings.
AutoCAD MEP includes several default templates in metric or imperial units. Most notably:
Aecb Model, a template for designing building systems
Aecb Sheet, a template for plotting building systems
The templates have specified drawing units, drawing scales, and annotation size. They also have defined
layout tabs,
model space and paper
Using default templates helps you become more familiar with the software to create new drawings and
incorporate them into your project standards. Later, you can modify the default templates or create your
own to meet specific company or project requirements.
