Use this dialog box to select the template to use when you create a view frame group using the Create View Frames wizard.
The choices you make in this dialog box define the folder path, drawing template (DWT) file, and a layout name that will be used for creating the new sheets. You must choose a template that has viewports defined appropriately. For example, if you want to choose a template that contains viewports for both plan and profile views, you must select a template that contains viewports with Viewport Types that are defined as “plan” and “profile”.

The plan production templates that are located in the Template folder have viewports that are already configured to the appropriate viewport type: plan, profile, or section. These templates are located in \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\C3D <version>\enu\Template\Plan Production.
If you try to select a template that does not have appropriately defined viewports for the sheet type you selected on the Sheets page of the Create View Frames wizard (Plan(s) Only, Profile(s) Only, or Plan and Profile), Autodesk Civil 3D detects this and displays the following message: No layouts contain the necessary viewports for this sheet type.
