tails Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi guys, I'm plodding along with my template at work when time allows! I have just saved an initial copy as a dwt file. When I open it none of the layers I made are saved except the ones used. How do you save a layer to a dwt template file, as I need the same colours/lineweights each time. Also when I open my dwt file I have the tabs - model, layout 1, layout 2, A2 I just want the model and A2 tab, so why do the others open as I have not made them. I have attached a dwg of the initial template for your reference. Thanks for any help! Drawing1.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did you delete layout1 and layout2 before saving as .dwt? The layers will disappear if you are purging, maybe as part of a save routine? Otherwise the layers will always be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder76 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Can you save it to an earlier version? I have 2008 and can't open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tails Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Drawing1.dwg It is now backed saved to 2004, so should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tails Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did you delete layout1 and layout2 before saving as .dwt? Yes in the .dwg that I originally made them in there was just model and A1 template, no extra paperspaces. The layers will disappear if you are purging, maybe as part of a save routine? Would saving from a .dwg to a .dwt do this? Where do I find whats purging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft vader Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) just delete the not wanted lay outs and then save again as DWT should sort it ,well it did for me once saved re opened and the layers had gone ? ? you ask how to save as template dwt well just select it in the drop down menu when saving template.dwg you cant add a dwt here so you will have to do it your self m8 Edited March 22, 2011 by daft vader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
