Configure drawing template to prompt for sheet format selection

Problem

This article goes over how to set a Drawing Template to prompt to choose the Sheet Format when starting a drawing. This is useful for users who frequently use different sheet formats to start their drawings.

Solution

  1. Start a new Drawing from an existing Drawing Template that has at least one sheet
  2. Right-click on every sheet and select Delete so there is just a blank drawing sheet left
     

    Delete Drawing Sheets from right click menu
  3. Go to File>Save As and in the save as type drop-down menu, choose to save as a drawing template(.drwdot) 

    Save as Drawing Template File Type
  4. Save this new template to a location where the other drawing templates currently reside 

The next time a new Drawing is started from file>new with this new drawing template, there will automatically be a prompt to select the Drawing Sheet as shown below.
