changing setup

[alijahed]

Hi everybody,

It's a general question but I couldn't find the answer,
How do I change the setup of autocad in a way that when I want to do a new drawing all the settings which I'm looking for, setup automatically(for example I want always have 4 for arrow size in dim and Text Height 6 and ...)

Thanks in advance

You need to create a drawing template (.dwt). Just start a new empty drawing and then add your dimension styles, text styles, layers etc. When you're finished setting it up, SaveAs in .dwt format. Now whenever you start a new drawing, just go to File > New and select your template.

Yep
I have set up a template with all my stuff in it.
I have then put a shortcut on my desktop to open it, then
I just save as etc.
And guess what I called it Dodges template.
