Why can't I save a DWT to a custom folder?

[CADnewb]

I have configured my settings and want these settings to be in place for new drawings. When I try to save it as a template it either saves as a dwg or a dfx even though I select the template file type option from the drop down box when saving.

 

I try to save to a custom folder of my choosing - named Templates- but it will not save as a DWT - keeps changing and saving it as a DFX.

 

Using AutoCAD 2009. Any light on how this works would be much appreciated.

Hi

 

Does seem strange what is happening, for knowing about .DWT files try the below. Saving a .DWT file should be as easy as saving a .DWG. Maybe try saving it into the current Autocad templates directory then moving it out to your own directory. Link is about .dwt files.

Hope this helps
