Creating a Custom Drawing Template In this lesson, you create a drawing 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 Drawing Document To create a drawing template, open a new drawing. Editing the Sheet Format Sheet formats ensure that drawings have a uniform format. In this procedure, insert a company name and address in the sheet format. Linking Text to Custom Properties Now you add text that is linked to custom properties. Inserting Predefined Drawing Views If you have predefined drawing views in a drawing template, they are pre-populated when you click Make Drawing from Part/Assembly in a model. Inserting the Last Predefined Drawing View 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. Saving the Drawing Template Finally, you save the drawing document as a template.
