Drawing Templates
(OP)
I have to create a new set of drawing templates and was hoping there is a way to create the "A" size and then just copy all of the settings, notes, linked properties, etc. over to the "B", "C", & "D" size drawings. Or will I need to create the same template 4 times?
Thanks,

RE: Drawing Templates
Once all the templates are made and I find something I want to change when I am putting a drawing together on the "B" size for example, is there a way for the change on the "B" size to carry over to the a, c, &d sizes. I gues is there a way to link everything between the different templates?
Thanks,
BB

Either way, I created my title block for A, then used the same with bigger border for B, C. For D, I scaled up the block, re-sized the text...and re-located it...then added a larger border. For E, I just used the D block with a larger drawing border.
Spend a lot of time getting the CPs on your parts and assemblies to work together. Also, I ended up with different drawing templates for part drawings...and assembly drawings..as I was transferring over different CP data.

A set of templates shouldn't take more than about two hours. Open a default SW version and massage to suit.
RE: Drawing Templates
BTW, I have an assessment of Template Wizard. It's not $500 that I'm aware (unless the price changed again). I think's it's under $300: http://www.fcsuper.com/swblog/?p=1498

Also, just for clarification Template Wizard is $295 at solidworkstemplates.com (incorrectly listed as $495 at 3Dawn.com).
RE: Drawing Templates
Yeah, the block method still does require a lot of tweeking, especially if the title block as other blocks within it.
