Creating a Custom Drawing Template

This question comes up pretty often so I decided to create a video and document that goes through setting up a custom AutoCAD drawing template.  There is no sound with the video but it will quickly demonstrate how to go about modiying a drawing template.  The document follows the video and describes the commands used to get to the different potions of AutoCAD.

Very nice!  I liked the sneak peek at the new MV 6.5 prompts window too. I can't wait to get a chance to use it.

One thing that you could add that I think would be very beneficial would be a section on how to create an auto populating section on the title block that pulls info about the customer and job into the title block. Also, incrementing sheet numbers would be nice.  I am an almost ex CV user and this is one, well maybe the only nice feature they have on their layout section.

Thanks again Daniel!

Thank you for this video, it's very useful.  However, isn't there a way to fill out lets say, a prompt screen, that allows you to specify the Job name, contractor, architect, address, Job number, the scale factors, dates drawn and checked by.  I think this should all be prompt driven.  However, if one must add a text field and enter that in themselves that's fine too, just takes more time and scaling the text block to fit properly.
