Drawing templates

[BuzzKiller]

I have been using solid works to design parts in 3D and it works great, recently I had to start doing drawings that could be printed so I could get my parts quoted...

I'm relatively new to the drawing scene and I'm looking for a little guidance. When I open a new drawing file, how do I add the boxes for bills of material, or to put my name, company information, material information, zoom ratio and all that good stuff into. Do I have to draw that manually?

I notice that when I try to create a new document a box opens and asks what kind of document I would like to create, there are two tabs, one of which says tutorial. I remember doing the tutorial a long time ago and the boiler plates or whatever they are called were automatically there, but now there is not a drawing tutorial file (???)

Thanks in advance for any ideas?

Check SW Help file drawing sheets, customizing sheet formats

Also for over 50 demos of SW modules, features, etc, go to

& if you have hi-speed internet you can start viewing. If not you can order the CD. The demos are not tutorials, but do show valuable "how-to" info.
