Updating Sheet Format
Updating Sheet Format
(OP)
When I change my Sheet Format template and update it in the drawing, all of the changes I made to Annotation Fonts do not change. Does updating Sheet Format not do this or am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Updating Sheet Format
Otherwise, the sheet format and drawing template are different. All the "Document Properties" from the Tools->Options dialog box are in the template (.slddrt file) rather than the sheet format. The template file is essentially a blank drawing file. You can't change the template file after creating the drawing. The sheet format contains size, title block, etc, and you can change the sheet format at any time. However, changing the sheet format will not change the fonts on any annotations that are "use document default".

The free version is limited to changing 4 files per session.

RE: Updating Sheet Format
It is the Options I want to affect, i.e. Annotations Font. So I guess Dwg Template which I guess means more involved. I will look into that software but one thing that seems to work is to just start a new dwg (with the new template) and copy everything into it from the dwg mad from old template. Not sure if any implications that I dont know of yet, but seems to work ... just kinda tedious and clunky.
Thanks you two, appreciate the help.

It is an Excel spreadsheet which copies document properties from one file to another.
Also try the Copy Custom Info macro from http://www.esoxrepublic.com/freeware/
