About Creating and Saving Drawings

Drawings have common properties that you can specify when you create a new drawing. You can specify:

• the template on which to base the drawing, or create a drawing that is not based on any template.
• units, scale, layer standard, layer key style, and default display properties.
• options that control drawing performance and behavior.

You also have a number of options for saving files to use with other applications. These options are useful if you work with vendors and consultants who do not use AutoCAD Architecture 2025 toolset.
