Creating a Custom Part Template In this lesson, you create a part template that allows everyone to use the same settings (standards, options, etc.). Save your current settings before starting this lesson so you can restore the original settings later. See Saving and Restoring Settings. Opening a Part Document To create a part template, first open a new part. Setting Document Properties The Options dialog box contains System Options and Document Properties. Document properties apply to the active document and to document templates rather than to the software environment. Setting Annotation Styles Applying Material Properties Next, apply material properties to the template so it creates steel parts. Setting Custom Properties When custom properties (also known as metadata) are pre-defined in a template, you do not need to define them for each document. Completing Custom Properties Saving the Part Template Finally, you save the part document as a template. Parent topicCreating Custom Templates
