Content Resources
To create and distribute content effectively, it is important to have an understanding of where different types of content
are best stored, and the possibilities each one of them provide towards a cohesive, well-managed system of templates,
styles, symbols and tools. Careful attention should be paid to ease of user access, centralized storage and automation.
Template Drawings
There are a variety of things that should be kept in the template, however care should be taken to keeping it as “lean”
as possible. Before storing content in a template you should consider other options, choosing to store it in the template
only after confirming that it is the best possible location. Normally, the template itself should be stored in the location
that is specified in the “OPTIONS” dialogue box under “Template Settings”.
Setting the template file location in the “Options” dialog box.
Items that should be included in the template file:
■
Layer definitions: Pre-defined layers should be kept to a minimum. Most layers are created when needed by the
layer key style that is loaded into a drawing. Only include pre-defined layers for those other objects and settings
that must be in the template before a Layer Key Style is loaded or any objects created.
■
Text styles: Include text style definitions to be used for standard notes and dimensions.
■
Title Blocks, Layouts and Page Setups: These should be created in templates intended for use as plot sheet
templates. Templates that are intended to be used for sheet sets, especially, should have page setups saved within
them to serve as page setup overrides when publishing a sheet set.
■
Multi-View Blocks: Normally these should be stored as AEC Content or tags, however if you want to use a
custom column grid bubble block instead of the default grid bubble, you should store it in the template.
NOTE Custom blocks do not scale correctly if you copy objects to which they are attached (such as doors with door
hardware) and paste them in a drawing that has drawing units specified differently.
■
Classification Definitions: Those classification definitions that you use frequently are best stored in your
drawing template, so that they are readily available when you need to classify either a style or an individual object.
