Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

To create a new template, make a new Part, Assembly, or Drawing file, and

go to the menu "Tools, Options, Document Properties." Everything we change

in this tab is saved with the template. The most common options changed in a

template are Units, Sketch Grid, Detailing Standards, and Annotation Fonts. Let's

review them in the order that they appear in the options.

The first section is "Drafting Standard"; here we can change the

dimensioning standard to ANSI, ISO, DIN, JIS, etc.; by changing the standard, all

the necessary changes will be made to arrows, dimensions, annotations, etc., per

the selected standard.

The "Annotations" and "Dimensions" sections contain all the options for

annotation and dimension settings including font, size, arrow type, appearance and

every configurable option for them. Keep in mind that setting the "Drafting

Standard" will modify these sections according to the standard.
