  4. In the Select Sheet as Drawing Sheet Template dialog box, do the following:
    1. Click Browse .
    2. Navigate to the .dwt file to use as a template and click Open.

      The dialog box displays the list of sheets from the .dwt file.

    3. Select the sheet to use as a template for new drawing sheets in the set.
    4. Click OK.
  5. Click OK.
