Customizing the default template
Most people customize the default template to create one or more templates that suit their particular needs.
After your templates are created, you don’t have to worry about most settings; they are already available for
you, and you can quickly start to draw.
To customize acad.dwt or acadlt.dwt, follow these steps:
1. Create a drawing based on a template as described in the previous section.
2. Make any changes you want.
3. Click Save on the Quick Access toolbar.
4. In the Save Drawing As dialog box, click the Files of Type drop-down list box. Choose AutoCAD
Drawing Template or AutoCAD LT Drawing Template (*.dwt). In the list of template files,
choose the template that you want to customize. Click Save.
5. When asked if you want to replace it, click Yes.
6. From the Measurement drop-down list, choose English (Imperial) or Metric, depending on the
type of units you plan to use.
7. In the Template Options dialog box, revise the description as you like. (For information about the
New Layer Notification option, see Chapter 26.)
8. Click OK.
