Link Layout name to file name

Anonymous

Hello
Is there a way to link a layout name to the file name (so that if changes if I change the dwg name)? I am not able to make it a field and don't really know if it's possible.
Thanks

Okay,

>"and not explained or shown clearly, making it difficult"
Right.
The lession named "Introduction to template creation" xor "Create the AutoCAD template" should start with "How to open an existing template file".


But for beginners I prefer to go the saveas way, which is shown in the lession before: "Introduction to template creation"

Start a new drawing based on the template in question(here acad.dwt for drawings which using imperial units and not mm or m), do what you want and SaveAs! this file
as template(.dwt).
This way it isn't so easy to overwrite existng templates accidentally.

 


>" Use of "Open File" and browsing to the provided template "acad.dwt" was the only way I found"
That's the way to open a template.
