Hi @rburk you will be having a windchill file system location set on your machine, it's a virtual folder,

You can find it's location from Windchill Workgroup Manager> Tools > Windchill file system management

Browser to this Virtual folder from solidworks- PTC places/Commonspace/<your template folder>

This should set the location for the templates

Hope this helps!

Hi,

 

Maybe these could help

New CAD Document (SOLIDWORKS)

 

The latter is for 13.1.1.0, we're on 12.1.2.5 and I'm confident we haven't built it that way... need to study that myself!
