Open a template, edit the desired elements, save the result as a .dot file with a file name of your choosing, then reuse it anytime as the template for your own custom sheet.
If you change the template "on-the-fly" you can "save as" .dot file and reuse it.
Yes - you have to have a separate template for each size sheet you commonly use.

Hi all,
I�m having trouble wrapping my head around the Schematic title block in 99SE.
I don�t have a �Default template� file loaded (under Tools->Preferences). This setting gives a simple title block with no graphics etc. Nice, I�m happy � except for one thing � the filename has its full path displayed and more often than not extends into and way past the �Drawn By� box.
The other nice thing about this title block is that I can go into �Document Options� and change the template size and the title block always stays in the bottom right-hand corner.
So my first question is � where is this title block stored so I can modify it (if possible)?
Now when I load a �Default Template� from Tools -> Preferences it has the big Protel logo with Protel�s full address etc, etc on it. I don�t remember working for Protel� At least I don�t think I do� These templates are no good to me. These are the ones in the �Templates.ddb�.
I realize I can generate my own template, but that brings up another problem � resizing the sheet on the fly. If I use a custom template and change it�s size with �Document Options�, then the title block stays where it is (it doesn�t stay in the bottom right hand corner). Useless. That means I have to make a template for every size of sheet I want? Eugh.
So I guess my second question is � is a custom template for every sheet size I use the only way?
All I want is the �standard� template without the full file path displayed in it. Is this asking too much?
Sorry about the long�winded spiel, but I think this is important and it�s been bugging me for a long time.
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
TC
