Is there anything wrong with creating a new template this way:
1. Create a new model for a new client.
2. Create new drawing based on the standard template.
3. Bring in model views and create new title block, notes, symbols, etc. specific to new client.
4. Save drawing as a client specific template in my template directory.
5. Open new client template and erase all drawing views but leave notes, symbols, title block, etc.
6. Save.
The question is, doing it this way, will it cause problems? Will the drawing views somehow still be linked to the template? Should I erase the drawing views BEFORE saving as a template? Is there a better way ti create a template?
I'm recently using inventor a lot. But now IM try to make a .IDW template with my own line styles and thickness and stuff. This is what I do:
I open an exciting IDW file. I go to manage and click style editor. Then I create a new style. Called test style. I make sure I activate my new style and I go to layers, where I change the line weight from 0.51mm to 0.25 mm (example)
I save my change and close style editor... After that I save my copy as template (called test 6-1) and close the drawing. I open inventor and create a new file. Select the template I created. I get this style conflict.... I don't fully understand this error... How can I fix this problem?
When my new template opens, I check the line weight by the style editor but the weight detente change... Its still 0.51 mm.
I was trying to make new .idw (inventor) templates based on .dwg (autocad) templates. For some reason the type face Simplex is not showing correctly on screen and on print outs. I have checked on various machines and result was same.
Is it possible to set up Inventor 2014 so that a new project will already contain custom libraries?
We have several part libraries as well as material/appearance libraries, and I don't want the users to have to select and add each time the start a new project...
I have a small project that I'm working on that inserts a new layout based on a user selected template size (A, B, C or D sizes). I need the program to insert the layout along with the titleblock geometry from the existing A, B, C, or D dwt files.
I know how to add a new blank layout. However, I'm having some trouble determing how to insert the titleblock geomtry. I've read a number of posts on here related to layouts, and while they were informative, none of them covered exactly what I need to do.
Want to create a drawing border, a box on the right hand side containing all the information about the drawing. I want this to be a template so each drawing I create will have the drawing border on the right.
What I am trying to do is create a custom sheetset template that will have ALL my sheets embedded, that way all my notes, details and sheets will always be ready. I would just need to update some text and details from time to time.
These are the steps that I have taken
Created a new sheetset and called it Sheetset Template In this sheetset template, I created all my sheets and inserted notes/details.
At this point I thought all I would need to do is copy the sheetset file and all by sheets would get copied too, but that was not the case, just the sheetset file was copied and I have to create all the sheets again.
The template location and file is stored in variable clienttemplate (and is not the standard template path set under options). All works okay except if I close the new drawing, when I return to the previous drawing that was current when the new drawing was created (i.e. the drawing that the routine was run from). I get the following error:
I assume this has something to do with the original routine not closing/finishing before switching to the new drawing. This is the last line of the routine:
When creating Feature Lines, I wanted them to be e.g. Step Line 1, Step Line 2, Step Line 3 etc so I amended the name template to suit. I created multiple from objects and the naming convention worked. If I did features individually (as I wanted certain ones in certain sites) it worked for the first feature but reverted back to the default Feature line name on subsequent entry to the dialog i.e. it had "forgotten" the template name just set.
Am I missing something to get this to work correctly or is this how it's supposed to work i.e. useless for individual feature line creation?? This also happens for gradings.

I just started working with a sublimation printer - We have a lot of different products and I am wondering - can I create a library where I can layout/create all my (box, circle, etc) containers to place my photos in on a specific size page. We may use several diff containers on each page. I would love to create one library and work from there?
I have been searching for a way to create a photo template, not a web template, but a photo template where I have a background, several layers with different stuff. What I would like to do is to have a couple more layers with cut out in different places where I can "insert" my pics. Different pics eact time. Is that really hard to do?
I wish to design a label for a bottle of wine, but the label isn't rectangular, it's kind of triangular, with the top cut off. How do I create a new custom background this shape. I believe I have to design the shape within the standard rectangular template.
Any ability/plug-in for illustrator cs5 to allow for creating a rhinestone template? I make custom apparel and use illustrator to create the vector artwork. When I need a design in rhinestones, I have to send out the art to have the template created (the template is the material with the holes in it where the rhinestones will be placed.) Rhinestone creation software lets you "place" the stones in the on screen design, choosing size of stone, etc. and then allows that design to be sent to a cutter to cut the holes in the template. If I could do it in-house, it would save me some money. I know there are plug ins that are compatible with CorelDraw, and there is stand alone software out there for apparel decorators, but I would rather not invest in more software if I could accomplish it in illustrator.
I am struggling to make a custom movie template for sharing to a video file. I use the menu Setting, Make Movie Template Manager.What I want to make is:
- Compression: H.264 - Resolution: 800 x 480 - Audio: AAC Stereo - Video bitrate: 1500 - Container: MPEG-4
But it seems I cannot use this X3 software for that. Especially the resolution, why the "custom" resolution is greyed out (disabled)?The reason for the above movie template is for playing on Android mobile phone.
I do a lot of photography and like to create pages in Photoshop to be used with companies who create albums such as SharedINK and AsukaBook.
There are a few nice software options out there such as Yervants Page Gallery, You Select It, Fotofusion, Pixel Creator Pro, etc. that help in designing album layouts. There are also some sites catering to Photoshop actions that create pages based on templates as well.
I'm seeking advice about the best way to create my own templates in Photoshop. Currently I am thinking of the following way.
1. Create my page template with guides and proper dimensions for the book company I plan to use. So I would create a 10x10 inch page and set guidelines for dpi/bleed/trimming for example.
2. I then would create clipping layers for each image and then arrange them all on a copy of the canvas background.
3. I would also add some line art, colored boxes, and perhaps adjust the opacity on some of the images.
Finally, I would save the file into a PSD format.
My thinking is that I could re-use the file again and simply replace the images in the clipping masks.
A few other ideas for creating a template in Photoshop might be to experiment with Smart Objects or Cutout Masks.
I have an interest in supplying a few of these templates to friends and associates who design wedding albums, family albums, or simply to showcase their photography and artwork.
I'm curious what others think about the best way to create a template in photoshop that could be used in a Wedding Photo Book for example "without" having to purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of 3rd party template software. In fact, I've actually heard that Yervant's Page Gallery and You Select It will export to PSD, but they will not create a very good template in Photoshop. There are limitations I've heard, thus designing in Photoshop from the beginning seems the best way. Plus the sky's the limit with creating your own designs.
Finally, I should mention that there is nothing wrong with having a 3rd Party template workflow. I in fact just purchased a copy of Fotofusion and it's fabulous for creating fast photo collages and then mixing them up again to gain a fast view of alternate layouts.
This is a relatively new area I think for most Photoshop users, but with the advent of Digital Photography and the reduction in price for published styled albums, I think more and more people will be interesting in creating their own templates. Not to mention creating templates above and beyond the basics which I'm seeing a lot lately. You wouldn't believe how basic some of the Photoshop pages are floating around and how much people are charging for them. They're simple to make in Photoshop and thus the desire to create my own templates.
Made some minor changes / updates to our .idw template and would like to update previous .idw's to the new template. Can this be done automatically? Is this done in styles?
I have opened previous .idw's and checked for updates in styles and none are shown. The changes/updates are to the title block and revision table. New drawings open with the new template changes, but we would like those changes to any previous drawings as well.
I'm having a problem migrating a custom idw 2011 template to 2012. When I try to open the template I get the message that I need to open and then explicitly save, but I cannot open the file. I've checked the file locations in options and in the projects, and all is correct.
I have had a dwg. template that I have used for quite some time. I recently decided I needed to update it. In doing do I added a new sheet and modified an existing title block to use on the new sheet. Now the new sheet is there when I start a new dwg. but the names are still there from the modified title block. If I open the template directly its all correct, if i start a create a new dwg only parts of it are correct. I've tried changing my styles to read/write and tried to save it as many different ways I can think of but it just won't cooperate.

I created a template file for the sheet material with the specified type of material, sheet thickness and the radius of bending. Placed in the Templates folder. Call the template from the menu, HED, and all settings are reset to Default? How to make a new file so that all settings are saved?
