Drawing Templates
(OP)
I have created a new D-Size Document Template for our company and need to create the other sizes we use. Some of the features I included were:
1. Layers for the different types of drawings that have different tolerances and notes.
2. Custom Properties for drawing titles, drawing number, etc.
3. Revision Table
Now I am looking to create the other sizes A, B, and C.
Is there an easy way to use the D-size template I already created to create the other sizes. I tried changing the drawing size but I lose everything b/c the only thing i can select is the SW default templates. Notes, tolerances, layers, borders, etc. all disappear. I'd like to keep the layering style the same.
I also tried looking for a scale function to scale the borders down to the appropriate size but couldn't find anything.
Do I have to just bite the bullet and recreate everything from scratch for each drawing size?
Thanks.

You take that template once opened and do a Save as Copy - Drawing Template.drwdot - Give it a new name like "Drawing C" and save it. open up your new template "Drawing C" and then you will only need to change the sheet size and move your template to fit within the sheet. Do a Save as Sheet Format and also do a Save as Drawing template - Repeat for each sheet.
See help for some clarification.
