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:


In the For new documents subsection you can select:

1. Click twice on the Templates Names List.
2. Click the button.
