A project can be associated with multiple support files. Normally these files are used to provide standards that ensure consistency across the project, or across multiple projects. Some support files are mandatory, while others are optional.
The following support files can be used in an AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset project:
These support files are described below.
A project template is an existing project that can be used as a template when creating a new project. When you create a project based on a template project, all drawing files, settings, and support files of the new project are taken from the template project. Alternatively, you can use only the structure and the support files of a project as the basis for the new project.
When you create a new project, you can define default templates for new elements, constructs, and model views created in the project. Sheet templates are defined in the project sheet set template.
Each project has a unique sheet set that collects and organizes the sheets in a project when the project is created. The sheet set is created from a template in which the user defines the sheet set structure, the default sheet template, and page setup overrides. When you create a project based on a template project, the sheet set of that project is used as a sheet set template. When you create a new project without using a template, the default sheet set template is used.
You cannot change the sheet set template after creating a project. You can, however, change the properties of the sheet set in the project.
By default, following sheet set templates are shipped with the software:
You can define project-specific drawings that contain standard styles and display settings, as well as AutoCAD standards for a project.
You can define a tool palette group to be used in the project. If your project is not based on a template that includes a project-specific tool palette group, you can define one by setting up the standard tools in the project.
You can define a project-specific Content Browser library that opens by default when you start Content Browser from within Project Navigator. The project library contains standard tools and palettes for the project.
