Saving a Template (DWT) File
When saving a drawing as a template (DWT) file, you can choose to save the
layers in the drawing as unreconciled or reconciled in the Template Options
dialog box. By default, all layers are saved as unreconciled, so that when a
new drawing is started using the template, a layer baseline is not yet created
until the drawing is first saved as a DWG file.
If the template file is saved with all layers as reconciled, a layer baseline is
created. That means when new layers are added to the drawing that is created
from the template file, any new layers that are created are unreconciled and
a new layer notification will display when the drawing is first saved or plotted.
Opening Multiple Drawings
When opening multiple drawings at the same time, an alert displays for each
drawing that contains new layers. This behavior occurs if layer notification is
turned on and the OPEN command is specified in the LAYERNOTIFY system
variable for each drawing.
To set new layer notification on and off
1 Click Home tab ➤ Layers panel ➤ Layer Properties
2 In the Layer Properties Manager, click Settings.
3 In the Layer Settings dialog box, click Evaluate New Layers Added to
Drawing.
4 Click Notify When New Layers are Present. Select one or more options.
5 Click OK.
6 Click OK to exit the Layer Properties Manager.
