Objective:

In he first of this series of lessons for an advanced user, we will learn how to configure a template.

NOTES:

• The template is critical in this workflow as it contains definitions for linetypes.
• View the article: Using Linetype Scale for Consistent Appearance of Special Linetypes in Drawings for more information about Linetype scales and Drawing Scale Factor.
• Any AutoCAD or Bricscad template can be used. Users may incorporate any additional linetypes, layers, blocks, text styles or layout definitions in a template, but none is crucial to this workflow.
• Learn more about the Drawing Explorer Dialog from the BricsCAD Support page.
