inserting a new sheet into drawing

Moh AA Sep 1, 2015 11:43 AM

Hi,

when I am inserting a new sheet from a template, it gives a blank sheet or sometimes it says that it cannot be located. So how can I add a new sheet with the same template format like the first sheet?

thanks for the support.

Have you made sure you have the below option ticked off in your Document Properties?

    you are correct that a drawing template has the .drwdot extension. But what SW is looking for when you add a sheet is a sheet format, not a drawing template.

      ok let's say we give him a sheet format, from where sw will get the template. so like that I have to copy/past my template again ?

        Save your template as a sheet format.

        thanks Wayne, it works ! by the way do you know how to combine drawings : let's say instead of many files , we need one file with many sheets inside ?

        you can copy and paste a sheet from one drawing to another.
