Creating and Saving
Drawings
Drawings have common properties that you can specify when you create a new drawing. You
can specify:
â–  the template on which to base the drawing, or create a drawing that is not based on any
template.
â–  units, scale, layer standard, layer key style, and default display properties.
â–  options that control drawing performance and behavior.
You also have a number of options for saving files to use with other applications. These
options are useful if you work with vendors and consultants who do not use AutoCAD
Architecture.
About Templates
The templates included in the software are drawing files with predefined settings.
Predefined settings include drawing units, drawing scales, and annotation plot
sizes. You can use these templates to create new drawings without going through
any additional setup.
Templates are installed in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2011\enu\Template.
NOTE The Template folder is marked as hidden in Windows by default. To display
hidden folders, enable that option on the View tab of the Folder Options command
in Windows Explorer.
Templates also contain predefined display configurations. Display configurations
allow you to produce different architectural displays, such as floor plans, reflected
plans, elevations, 3D models, or schematic displays. For more information, see
