change some options so they stay everytime i open a new part

Brett Menze Nov 23, 2015 9:31 AM

Everytime I open a new part I like to change some options in the dimensions tab under options. But then when I start another new

part I have to change those options again. How do I save those changes so I don't have to do that everytime I start a new part?

Thanks

Open a new Part and make your changes. Save as > Part Template. Name it and Save. The default location will probably be in the SolidWorks installation folder. I'd suggest saving it to a different location so you won't lose it when you update to a new version of SolidWorks.

Point to this location at Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations > Document Templates.

When you start a new Part, the new template should be there to select. If it isn't, and you're getting the default options shown below, click on the Advanced button.

Start a new part, set the options and then overwrite your part template. Now after that all new part files should have those options set.
