When you create a new drawing, you can use a drawing template file that contains standard settings. You can select from the template files supplied with AutoCAD LT or create your own drawing template files.
When you create a new drawing based on an existing template file and make changes, the changes in the new drawing do not affect the template file.
When you need to create several drawings that use the same conventions and default settings, you can save time by creating or customizing a template file instead of specifying the conventions and default settings each time you start. Conventions and settings commonly stored in drawing template files include
You can create a drawing template from the current drawing by choosing Save or Save As from the File menu and selecting Drawing Template File *.dwt from the Save as Type list. You can also include a description to help identify the template file. By default, drawing template files are stored in the Template folder, where they are easily accessible.
If the settings in the AutoCAD LT drawing template files aclt.dwt or acltiso.dwt have been changed from the original defaults, you can reset them by using Start from Scratch and then saving the drawings as drawing template files, replacing aclt.dwt or acltiso.dwt.
