It won't prompt me for draawing template
It won't prompt me for draawing template
(OP)
I've already gone to TOOLS>OPTIONS>SYSTEM OPTIONS>DRAWING TEMPLATES. The "Prompt User..." selection is checked. If I click on the "..." button to search for another template, it doesn't go to a file "explorer". It just pops up with the preview for the default template (as if I had just selected FILE>NEW>DRAW)
What the hell?? I never had this trouble with SW04

Next time you open that C-Size Template you will have a C-size Sheet format.

Then close, re-open.
Then go to FILE-OPTIONS-SYSTEM OPTIONS-DEFAULT TEMPLATES. Browse to all of your templates.

It should work.
Or try doing the setup above, but do not check prompt user.

RE: It won't prompt me for draawing template
I think there is some confusion here because of the different replies in this thread and your answers to each of them.
Is this what your wanting to see happen with your Drawing files when you open them?

RE: It won't prompt me for draawing template
But now, the sheet format that comes up IS the "stock" A-size Solidworks template. I have to do my little work-around to get to MY custom template.....which BTW won't retain any of my selected options, like units and precision ...but that's another thread
I'm sorry if I'm being obtuse...but I never touched any of the original dwg templates.....
RE: It won't prompt me for draawing template
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\data\templates\Drawing.drwdot
then to the right of that field, it has the "..." button. It will not let me change this text (manually) at all, and the "..." button doesn't do anything.

I had done this:
CorBlimeyLimey (Mechanical) 1 Apr 05 9:25
Did you change the Tools > Options > File Locations in SW04? Have you re-done that in SW05?
BUT I didn;t delete the old ones out of the list. Now it seems to work.
Thanks all for your patience!
(and how did this thread earn a star?)
