CAD drawing Creating a New Document Using Template 5    Command line: QNEW

The command allows you to create a new document based on a template file.

The template is a drawing used for the creation of new drawings and contains some base settings (type and accuracy of units, drawing limits, settings of SNAP and GRID modes; managing of layers; dimension and text styles; types and weights of lines etc.) and graphic objects (main titles, borders and logos). Template files have *.dwt extension. Changes made to a drawing created based on a template do not affect the template itself.

NOTE In nanoCAD, you can create and use templates not only for new documents, but also for importing and exporting documents.
