How To Create a Drawing Template

-
Create a new template from an existing drawing or drawing template.
After changing the settings of any drawing file, you can create a template to quickly create new drawings with the same conventions and default settings.

  1. Erase all of the objects in the drawing that you do not want to keep.
  2. Click the Application button Save As AutoCAD Drawing Template. DWT files must be saved in the current drawing file format. To create a DWT file in a previous format, save the file in the desired DWG format, and then rename the DWG file using a DWT extension.
  3. In the Save Drawing As dialog box, File Name text box, enter a name for the drawing template and click Save.
  4. Enter a description for the drawing template and click OK.
The new template is saved in the template folder.

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer.

Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can requ

How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam (with images) Issue: You have an existing beam that has a level as its work plane. You want to set its work plane to be a sloped reference plane, but only the reference planes or levels parallel to the beam are available when you edit the beam. Solution: To make the existing steel beam align with a sloped reference plane. Open an elevation or section view of the beam. Draw a reference plane parallel to the beam/slab using the Reference Plane tool on the Basics tab of the Design bar and name it by editing the reference plane properties. Select the beam. Click Edit Work Plane on the Options bar. Select Name and select the reference plane that you just created from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Draw a sloped reference plane using the Reference Plane tool and name it. Click Align to align the horizontal reference plane to the sloped reference plane. That's it. Bottom-line: After you made it, you ca

Revit Structure- A Tool to Success

Revit Structure software is a building information modelling application for structural design, analysis, and construction documentation. It has a physical model with fully associated analytical model. Since it was launched, a lot of companies were using this program on their successful projects. But did you know it was originally developed by a start-up company called Charles River Software (founded 1997) - later renamed Revit Technologies. Autodesk successfully acquired Revit Technologies on April 2002. One of the major advantages of Revit Structure is the use of true structural elements such as walls, columns, beams, slabs, trusses and parametric building model. All structural elements have a property which you can modify according to your design. The physical model composed of structural components such as columns, slabs, beams, footing and braces. It drives the construction documentation as well as coordination for engineers and architects. The analytical model contains i
