2 From the Files of Type drop-down list, choose AutoCAD Drawing Template (*.dwt) or AutoCAD LT Drawing Template (*.dwt).

Hey, I never said this made any sense! Save your templates there if you want them to appear in AutoCAD’s Select Template list. You can save your templates in another folder, but if you want to use them later, you have to navigate to that folder every time you want to use them unless you change your Options settings. I explain how to do this later in the chapter.

4 Enter a name for the drawing template in the File Name text box and then click Save.A dialog box for the template description and units appears.

5 Specify the template’s measurement units (English or Metric) from the drop-down list.Enter the key info now; you can’t do it later unless you save the template to a different name. Don’t bother filling in the Description field; AutoCAD doesn’t display it in the Select Template dialog box. Don’t worry about the New Layer Notification area shown in Figure 4-7 for now; I tell you all about drawing layers in ssss1.
