How To Create a Drawing Template in AutoCAD

.

Create a new template from an existing drawing or drawing template.
After changing the settings of any drawing file, you can create a template to quickly create new drawings with the same conventions and default settings.
  1. Erase all of the objects in the drawing that you do not want to keep.
  2. Click the Application button  Save As  AutoCAD Drawing Template.
    DWT files must be saved in the current drawing file format. To create a DWT file in a previous format, save the file in the desired DWG format, and then rename the DWG file using a DWT extension.
  3. In the Save Drawing As dialog box, File Name text box, enter a name for the drawing template and click Save.
  4. Enter a description for the drawing template and click OK.

The new template is saved in the template folder.
