Drawing setup file loaded with template

Hello all, I have a template for an A4 sheet drawing. I also have my customized DTL file with some options. After I created my template, I changed some of the options on the DTL file. Now, whenever I create a new template based drawing, the new options are not applied. However, if I create a generic drawing, all options are applied. I have in my config.pro the location of the DTL file using option drawing_setup_file. Thanks in advance!

Got the answer from an MCADCentral user: A template is like a special kind of drawing and just like a drawing, once created it does not update with changes to your *.dtl on disk. You need to open your template and re-apply the *.dtl file that you modified and save the template. __________________ Doug Schaefer  Columbus, OH

Jose I think your answer might be the answer to a similar problem I have been having with changes to the .dtl not working. So thanks.

Hi Martin, I've made several changes since yesterday to my DTL file and I apply the format to the template and it works fine. But you'll have to thank Doug at the MCADCentral, not me...
