In the "Units" section, select the units that we want to use in the template,

number of decimal places or fractional values, angular units, length, mass, volume

and force, etc. Selecting a unit system will change all the corresponding units to

that system, saving us time. Selecting "Custom" will allow us to mix unit systems if

so desired.

Click OK to set the new document properties to the selected options.

Another option saved with the template is the material; for this part template select

the aluminum alloy 6061-T6. To save the document as a new template, go to the

menu "File, Save As." From the "Save As Type" drop down box, select "Part

Template (*.prtdot)," "Assembly Template (*.asmdot)" or "Drawing Template

(*.drwdot)" (depending on the type of document we are working on).

SOLIDWORKS will automatically change to the first folder listed under the "File

Locations" list for templates; if needed, browse to the "MySWTemplates" folder,

give it a name and click "Save." As a suggestion, give the template a name that

tells you something about the options set in it, like material, standard, units, etc. or

whatever works for you.
