stainless Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Want to create a drawing border, a box on the right hand side containing all the information about the drawing. I want this to be a template so each drawing I create will have the drawing border on the right. Can anyone help please??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You can start with one of the default AutoCAD templates (DWT) and after making any necessary additions (layers, dimension styles, text styles, etc.) you can save it under a new name. Set QNEW to bring up this template file whenever you start a new drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stainless Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 It will not let me edit any of the text on the templates?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

designerstuart Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 it sounds like you are trying to edit a block? if so, use BEDIT to open block editor otherwise autocad template files are just .dwg files saved as .dwt instead - you can select, open and save to these files just as dwg files.

JD Mather Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 File>Open *.dwt? Can you attach the file here? Why did you start a new thread for question you just asked in another thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Post an example please. Maybe you have a block inserted as a block? Try opening in the block editor and see what you have. I have combined your 2 threads. Please only post the same question once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
