(OP)
Hi all,
Search doesnt appear to offer much here.
As I understand templates are pre set conditions for parts, drawings, asn assemblies. Things like units, fonts, etc. can be saved out as needed. Formats are drawing specific however. They contain border features, title block, custom properties, etc. My question involves line weights when printing. Are these part of the format somehow, or are they set in the print setup? Any comments on any of this are welcomed. Thanks

RE: formats and templates

At least in 2008 you set this in the print dialog. I haven´t tried 2009 so I could not say anything about that.

RE: formats and templates

hotiron,
As vims mentioned, you set this is the print dialog. Then be sure to save your template(s), and the settings will be saved for each time you use the default template.
