Keep sketches and views in drawing templates

[k.hendrickx]

When setting up templates, often it's handy to draw out standard sketches or place base views of certain parts.

However when saving it as a template and starting a new document all the sketches vanish and Inventor forces you to select a model to replace your baseview.

There is a very cumbersome workaround with autocad blocks, but this doesn't work in IDW's and it's also a shame that you can't just do this from within Inventor.

So, please add the ability to use sketches and "fixed" base views in templates.

With kind regards,

edit: to clarify, I know you could add sketches as sketch symbols, but you can't annotate these.

For example I wanted the create a drawing of a profile, which should always have similar tolerances in the cross section, instead of specifying these over and over again, I just wanted to add a baseview of a cross section and annotate this one time for all future files.
