Default Templates for New Documents

The templates specified in System Options > Default Templates are always used when you create new documents directly from the Novice page of the New SOLIDWORKS Document dialog box or from the Welcome dialog box.

Previously, if you created multiple templates, then depending on the template names and folder locations, those templates might have been used instead of those specified in Default Templates. You can still use alternate templates by clicking Advanced in the New SOLIDWORKS Document dialog box or the Welcome dialog box.
