How do i create my own template for drawings?

joao_arthur_da_cruz_nunes

I've been trying to use this attached file as my drawing template, because it is my university's standard. So far i've only tried making it a .dwt file but it hasnt worked at all, has anyone created new templates from pdf/images or anything like this?

Hello @joao_arthur_da_cruz_nunes ,

It doesn't seem like you've attached a file to your post.  To create a new template in Onshape, you should upload a .dwt to any Onshape document.  Once this is done, it will be available as a drawing template in all your Onshape Documents.

@joao_arthur_da_cruz_nunes  The help location that Jake posted has a section in it titled "Using traditional CAD drawings as templates in Onshape" Pay attention to that section and follow it step by step.

Also, there is a new learning resource here for a more in depth coverage of setting up custom templates for drawings:  https://learn.onshape.com/courses/best-practices-for-creating-native-onshape-drawing-templates?returnTo=/learn/article/best-practices-for-creating-native-onshape-drawing-templates
