Most users find it much easier to start with an existing template, make appropriate modifications, and save it as a new template. The template contains all of the settings related to a project - from the most basic of general options and includes design rule checks, reports and more.Īlthough there is a selection for an empty template, the number of options that need configuration make this a daunting task. Coordination needs to be used when changing commonly used templates. Often in collaborative settings this is part of the shared data folder. When a new template is created, it will be stored here. These are in the SOLIDWORKS Electrical data folder under the Project Templates folder. When creating a new project, a default list of project templates will be displayed. These can have a designated numbering order, customized title blocks, and more. The project template not only holds the general project settings, but it can also contain your desired drawing sheets. If you find yourself making the same changes to a new project each time, even a few minor ones, then it is time to create a template.
But with many templates, one size does not often fit all right out of the box. Every SOLIDWORKS Electrical project begins with a template - even a default template.
