Use a Template
Starts a drawing based on a drawing template file. Template drawings store
all the settings for a drawing and may also include predefined layers, dimension
styles, and views. Template drawings are distinguished from other drawing
files by the .dwt file extension. They are normally kept in the template directory.
Several template drawings are included with this program. You can make
additional template drawings by changing the extensions of drawing file
names to .dwt. See “Use a Drawing Template File” in the User's Guide.
