Now storing your Templates is very easy. You can store them in the Default Template folder that I showed you in the previous exercise where AutoCAD stores them all. That's right-click, Options, Files, Template Settings, Drawing Template File Location. It's in that folder there. Now, instead of changing this here you could just locally save your DWT files if you wanted to, or you could set that there to a Network location. I'll just cancel that for a moment. So I've got my DWT file open. Now, the way to go and open up a DWT that you've saved previously is easy. You go here on the Application Menu and as you can see by ordered list I've got some DWTs there. It's that one there that I've saved previously. You can see the location there. And I've also got that one there as well. Go to somewhere else as well you can see, look, can you see that? That one actually opens up - I'll just go back because I've opened it now - if I go there you've got one there that is the Application Data Autodesk1, that's the Default Template Location, or that one there I've saved previously in another big long file location. So, same drawing, just different locations. So what I want to do here is I want to save this locally. How do I do that? Well, what I would do is I would go basically up to here again, File, Save As and I want to save it as a DWT but I want to go to a different Location. So what I would do there is I would literally go to something like My Documents here and I'm just going to drill down now and find my VTC folder there and keep drilling down, projects there and current and I'm drilling down and there's my AutoCAD Plotting and Publishing, as you can see there, double-click on it and I keep drilling down, there's my Movies and Work Files and we're in Section 15, keep going and I'll store it in this Drawings folder there. Now that's a long route to go, but what I can do there now, save it as a DWT, click on Save and that's now saved. It's come up with that Description again, I can use the same one, so I OK that and that's now in a different location. Now you'd think there, OK, how do I find that location? Well, what I've got to do there is I've got to Browse and find my Template now, instead of going to the Default folder that AutoCAD has set up for me. So if I had to go and find my Template now instead what I would have to do is Browse, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to close any drawings I've got open, go to New and on my STARTUP dialog here I go, User Template, but then I hit the Browse button and I go and look for it this time. So, what I'm going to do, it's in My Documents, like so and I've got to drill all the way down again and sometimes this can be a real headache drilling all the way down like this, and trying to find the folder that you need. It can take quite a while as you can see, so I'm drilling all the way down here and there's my Template there. Now if I go up one level, there's the folder that I need - Drawings - if I left-click and drag and just drop that on my Location bar, that's always there now, so if I Browse I can just click on that drawings link there and it'll go straight to the folder. Remember that when you set up a separate folder for your Templates, that way I can just go and find them whenever I need to. There's my Template there, I open, that opens up a blank drawing now, as you can see Drawing6 there, yeah? But the next time I need to Browse for a new drawing - I'll click on New there again and go here and go Browse, all I've got to do is hit Drawings, there's my Templates. Easy! So, use that Location Bar that Windows provides. It's very handy in AutoCAD. So I've created a new drawing there from my Template that I've stored elsewhere from the AutoCAD Default Templates Folder.
