Do you mean when you do "new" from that template it looks bad but when you open the template file itself it looks fine?

Are you talking about the text spacing/scaling being "bad"...

Are you sure you are opening the right template..

Can you include a screenshot of the "good" version?

indeed, when i open the template it looks fine but when i make a new drawing it looks not good. not good from the text is not allgined in the borders etc. yes it's the same template

In addition to what @mcgyvr stated.. DO you get a style conflict message when you start a new drawing?

Have you compared your text style in your template to the text style in your actual (new) drawing.

Meaning something is changing the style when you start a new drawing and I would speculate you have a style conflict and its changing to use the style information in your design data folder and over-riding what's in your template.

Another test would be, to open your template and perform an update located the Manage/Styles section of the ribbon.

If something is different between your template and the styles defined in the design data folder will appear in the list like this

@janick1020

This tells me that you have modified numerous out of the box styles.. Here's what I would recommend.. Review this article and setup your named styles and not modify the ones that are already there.
