What is a drawing template file?
A drawing template (DWT) file is used to provide consistency for each new
drawing (DWG) file that is created. DWT files can contain named objects,
drawing based settings, and geometric objects. Stored named objects include
layers, and text and dimension styles among others. Along with named objects,
a DWT file can hold values for drawing based system variables, and any
geometric object that might be common across multiple drawings such as a
title block. For information about using a DWT file, see Use a Template File
to Start a Drawing in the User’s Guide.
