Create Templates in AutoCAD
Arguably the most famous and the most commonly used?3D modeling software?ever, we all know about?AutoCAD. It is a computer aided design and drafting solution brought to you by Autodesk. Today, we will learn how to create templates in?AutoCAD.
As a design engineer, you often need to do the same type of design over and over again, don't you? Every time you start one of these projects, you have to build the same things up from scratch. This can get frustrating. So, what do you do? Do you just copy-paste your previous design and make changes in that?
That's a bad idea. It's prone to errors and you might end up doing more work than before.
What would be better is to keep a handy "basic" drawing available that is common to all of these drafts you have to make. Then keep using this "format" every time you start a new drawing of that kind.
This is, basically, what templates are all about. Templates are "basic format" drawings which are saved in separate locations and are used as the starting skeleton for particular kinds of drawing.
Templates in?AutoCAD?are one of such features which help us to reduce our work and to save time. Before starting a new design project we have to change many settings in the drawing page like?units, sizes, dimension styles, layers,?etc. It is not easy and practical to do the settings every time you start a new drawing.
