The templates included in the software are drawing files with predefined settings. Predefined settings include drawing units, drawing scales, and annotation plot sizes. You can use these templates to create new drawings without going through any additional setup.
Templates also contain predefined display configurations. Display configurations allow you to produce different architectural displays, such as floor plans, reflected plans, elevations, 3D models, or schematic displays. If you are working with a project, you can assign display configurations directly to the project as a project standard.
If you are a new user of the software, it is recommended that you use a template to create your drawings. You always have the option to modify a template or create your own template after you become more familiar with the software.
You can modify a template to conform to your office standards by changing the settings and then saving it as a new template, or you can import settings from another template into the current drawing, and then saving the current drawing as a template.
