Yes, I have searched unsuccessfully.

When opening a new Drawing Document Template the “Sheet Format/Size” window opens so a sheet format can be selected. When the “Only Show Standard Formats” check box is selected only the sheet formats that are for the same standard as my Drawing Document Template are shown. So, if my Drawing Document Template is ANSI (as specified in Options>Document Properties) only ANSI Sheet Formats are shown in the selection window. Likewise, if my Document Template is ISO only ISO formats are shown and etc.

I would like to utilize this function with my own Sheet Formats. So, how do I tell Solidworks that my Sheet Format is a; say, ANSI format or an ISO format or a Corporate format or etc.? (I’m talking about Sheet Format here not Drawing Document Template so please don’t tell me to go to Options>Document Properties>Drafting Standard and select an “Overall Drafting Standard”.)

To phrase it another way, I want MY ANSI (or other) Sheet Formats to also show up in the list of ANSI (or other) sheet formats when the “Only Show Standard Formats” check box is selected. How do I make this happen?
