About Using a Drawing Template in AutoCAD Electrical Toolset

A drawing template file is used to provide consistency in the drawings that you create by providing standard styles and settings.

When a drawing template file is used to start a new drawing it can:

• Predefine AutoCAD Electrical toolset drawing properties such as component tagging, wire numbering format, and so on.
• Predefine layers and layer properties.
• Predefine wire layers.
• Provide your drawing border and title block.

By default, drawing template files are stored in the template folder, where they are easily accessible.
