Template drawings

A template drawing is a drawing file with file extension DWT.

It is used to create a new drawing that is a copy of the template drawing. Any drawing with extension DWT is considered a template drawing. The BricsCAD template drawings are located in the template folder(s). Use the TEMPLATEFOLDER command to open the folder. If you save your customized template drawings in the template folder, they are available in the Start tab to create new drawings. Using properly prepared templates is essential for a productive use of BricsCAD.

A template drawing does not contain entities in model space, but contains settings according to the specific drawing and project requirements:

• Units: imperial or metric and units display.
• Layers.
• Dimension and leader styles.
• Text styles.
• Table styles.
• Multiple layouts, each with title block, paper size, printer, and plot style.
• Standard blocks for notes, tables, symbols, and other entities.
