Document Templates

One way to be more efficient in SOLIDWORKS is by creating document

templates. SOLIDWORKS' templates include many settings that are inherited

when we create a part, a drawing or an assembly from them. Depending on the

type of template used, it will include information about the measuring system,

drafting standard, material properties, color preferences, image quality,

annotations display, drawing notes display, even pre-defined geometry if needed.

When we first install SOLIDWORKS and define the system's units of

measure, the default templates are created using the selected units and drafting

standards. To create a new part template with different properties, first we need

to create a new part from an existing template, modify its properties as needed,

and finally save it as a template with a meaningful name. Optionally we can save

our templates to an alternate location to better manage them.
