    Drawing Formats v. Drawing Templates

    qbui, I believe, that if your drawing template is referencing model parameters - you won't have this problem. Try adding a model parameter like "DESCRIPTION" and then have the format call "&description" - and see what happens. Best of luck. cheers, JW

    markbreneman, You can create a datum curve in your model. Change the linestyle in your drawing to match the drafting standard that you are using. You can also rotate the the hole axii to match the BC. Hope this helps. Cheers, JW
