How Change Drawing Template?

I recieved a drawing from a vendor with their template on it. I need to get our template on the drawing with our legal statements and logo. Is there an easy way to swap the template without having to draw the entire drawing in our format/template?

Thanks.

Assuming that you already have drawing sheets setup for your company.

Save the drawing to the name that you want.

With the drawing open and in the Layout tab, right click and select Sheet Setup.

Left click on the "box" below the word Format and a drop down menu appears.

Select from the list, or select browse on at the bottom.

If the format is not in the directory that pops up, select to appropriate directory and then select the format.

Click "Open"

Hope that helps

Be careful with the word "template", that means much more than the term "format", which is what I assume you meant. In your case, if you wat your font type, size, and other settings, you'll not only have to change the "format", but also apply the appropriate .dtl file.
