Template Usage

To create a new document, you can use a template (files with *.dwt extension). 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).

Document template samples are in the system folder nanoCAD Templates:

Template files having izometr in the name, contain dimension styles settings to place dimensions in isometry.

Changes in a drawing created using a template are not applied to the template.

note: You can create a template not only for new documents but also for imported documents.

Templates are managed in the Template Usage section of the Options dialog:
