Insert a Standard Drawing Template

[alanled]

I would like to create a default template with comany name ,logo, drawing number etc how can I apply this so when a new drawing is created it would use this template when I print the drawing ie it would only be visable in layout space.

Create a drawing with your titleblock, logos, etc in paperspace. Set up the layout for plotting. You might want to create the layers, text styles, dimension styles and load the linetypes you normally use. Then "save as" a dwt file. When you start a new drawing use this drawing as the template file.

This is another option:

Create a template/boarder/logo drawing in model space. Use editable attributes for page numbers.

Insert that drawing as a block into paperspace of your construction drawing.

We have a separate template that is used for project name, issue date, etc that is xref'd into all project drawings so they all match. As long as the xref gets updated, there is no chance of drawings having differing project names or issue dates.

Sduggan is correct. I would add finding VBA or LISP program to insert time and date into your template. Note that to convert a ACAD file into a block by using WBLOCK command. Hope this helps.
