This article will explain the purpose of using Templates and how to create one.

About

The Templates feature is a tool used in a drawing to incorporate a set of standards. Templates eliminate the need for a seed drawing by giving you the ability to:

• Save wanted settings to use at the start of your project
• Automatically load a default Template when you start CET
• Ability to protect against mistakenly overwriting a seed/base drawing

You're probably wondering what could be included in a saved Template. The answer? Any imported reusable files and setting files that are usually retained along with a saved drawing, such as:

• custom categories
• embedded schemes
• floor material
• styles
• part tags
• project info
• papers
• calculation view settings
• light settings
• visibility settings
