DWT not opening correctly

noahkem_21 — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 04:35:19 GMT

I don't have much experience with AutoCAD. I'm sorry if this is a noob mistake. I'm an engineering student and I need to make a bunch of schematics of systems for an internship I'm doing. My college provided me with a template that contains all of the symbols I will need for the schematic such as symbols for pumps, valves, etc so I can quickly copy and paste them into my drawing. When I open this template from the layout menu, only the viewport layout the school gave me opens, not the symbols in the model space. I really don't want to have to make all these symbols myself.

Hi,

Yes the symbols don't show up in modelspace.
