Importing new template into old drawings?

Eric Salvo Dec 7, 2015 12:37 PM

It was necessary to make changes to the sheet format in my drawing template that will be reflected in all of my drawings going forward. However, I'm often asked to send out old drawings for fabrication. Is there an easy way to update my old drawings without manually making the changes to each one? Can I import the new template into an old drawing or something that would have the same effect?

With the drawing open, right click in the graphics area and select properties. From there you can change the sheet format.

  That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
  
  Also, thanks for posting the macro. If I download a zip file from the net on to my work computer, the next thing I'll be sending out is resumes. I'll take a look at it from home.

If you kept the name the same, then try the attached macro - not sure where I got it, there are no references, thinking it was off the SW API section, but not sure.
