Creating Custom Templates in AutoCAD: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to this video learning series of AutoCAD. Today we are going to learn about creating custom templates in AutoCAD. So let's get started. What is a template file? It contains predefined settings that save us time when starting a new session, such as units, limits, layers, and title blocks. Let me show you how to create one yourself. Here are the steps:


  1. Choose Your Template File: Access templates from the dropdown menu or by clicking on the 'New' button. There are predefined templates like ACAD for 2D drawings.

  2. Customize Your Settings: You can change settings such as units, precision, angle type, and limits to suit your project needs.

  3. Save Your Template File: Save your changes by going to the 'Application Menu', hitting the 'Save As' button, choosing 'AutoCAD Drawing Template' from the dropdown list, naming it, and saving it in a location of your choice.

  4. Use Your Template File: To start a new drawing using your custom template, browse to the saved template file and open it. Check that your settings have been applied correctly.
