OK, so how do I set up a Layout from a Template drawing, a dwt file? I go down to my tab here like so and I right-click. Now it can be any Layout Tab, it doesn't matter which one and I go to the From Template option. Now what'll happen is it will automatically default that to the AutoCAD Template folder where all the DWT files are stored. Now I normally store all of my Templates in that default folder. I don't worry about setting up my own folder. However, if you've got your own Template folder you will need to go and browse and find it. I've actually got an A3 ISO drawing Template there and as you can see there's a preview of it there; it's got four Viewports, it's got a little Title Block there and so on. So if I select that one and click on Open it'll actually prompt me now which Layout do I want to bring into my Current Drawing, which is 04-LAYOUTS FROM TEMPLATES there at the top of the screen. So there's the A3 Landscape Tab. I OK that now and it brings in an A3 Landscape Tab. So it's brought that Layout in from another drawing, so when I click on it now you'll see, look, there's my Title Block, it's all come in, all the information is there. I've got four Viewports there. If I double-click in here like so and do let's say a Zoom Extents, like so, nothing's working. No problem. What I need to do there is just basically get everything to work. It may be that these Viewports are locked. So if I double-click, click on the Viewport, right-click, and go to Display Locked see the Viewport is locked? If I click on No there now and double-click inside the Viewport and now do a Zoom Extents I can. You can lock the Viewport Scales. It stops people accidentally like I did double-clicking inside the Viewport and changing the Scale for example, but you can see there. There's our information from the Model Space, so there's the Model information there and that is now in my A3 Landscape Tab that I've brought in from a Template drawing. So all that information's there. If I look at my Layers here as well - let's have a look at the Layers now and see what's happened - it's brought in a whole shed load of Layers with the actual Template itself, so I've got, for example there, can you see Title Block? That is a Layer, color 40, that forms this Title Block here. So Viewports, for example. That Layer is blue there and if I just close the Layer PropertiesManager there you can see there's my blue Viewports Layer there. So I can now start standardizing around this Template and perhaps changing my WIZARD Template. So let's go back to WIZARD here now. There's my Viewports, there, I need to change their Layer because they're currently on Layer0. So I've now got a Viewports Layer that I can standardize on, so I select my four Viewports, click on the down arrow and I scroll down and there's my Viewports Layer there. I click there and now those Viewports are on the same Layer as the Viewports in the A3 Landscape Tab. So I can standardize by bringing in a known Layout from a known Template and actually creating Layouts from Templates. So if I've worked on a previous project well I know there's a Layout on a Template drawing that I can utilize again and reuse and save myself creating another Layout, that's what I would do. I would go to the Template drawing, the DWT file, go and bring that Layout in and as you can see it's ready to go. Title Block's there, Viewports are there; I've just got to Scale the Viewports, perhaps add some new annotation to the Title Block and I'm done. Time saving, productivity, profitability. You're making money by being quicker. You must remember that. The more profitable you are, that's great. You're bringing money in, but find Tools to make you profitable in the first place.
