This procedure shows you how to create a new border or layout template so that you can edit it in the Drawings and Reports task. You can edit existing templates using commands on the Tools menu. For more information, see Edit Border Template Command (Tools Menu) and Edit Layout Template Command (Tools Menu).

  1. Copy an existing template .sha file in the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Templates\Imperial (or Metric) folder.

  2. Rename the new file.

  3. In the Drawings and Reports task, select Tools > Edit Border Template if the new template is a border template. Use Tools > Edit Layout Template if the new template is a layout template.

  4. Edit the new template as needed, saving your changes in SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

After you edit your border and layout templates, go to the Drawings and Reports task, or Tools > Drawing Console in a 3D task and create new drawings using the template.

When creating a border template, the border graphics should be created in the Working Sheets view. If the border template is created in the Background Sheets view, the border will not be visible when a drawing is created. The Switch Border command will also not work correctly if the drawing border was created in the Background Sheets view. For more information on these views, see the SmartSketch Drawing Editor Help.
