Of course you can change formats later if you need to use a larger drawing sheet. Changing existing templates Can you change templates on existing documents No. This is one of the most common questions from new users.

Currently once you create any kind of document from whatever kind of template you cannot change the underlying template. However you can change all the settings which is for the most part equivalent. SolidWorks offers custom drafting standards which provide some of the functionality the ability to swap templates would achieve. You can take a drafting standard such as ISO International Organization for Standardization or ANSI American National Standards Institute make adjustments to it and save the standard out to a file that you can distribute to other users. You can change the standard by choosing Tools C Options C Document Properties C Drafting Standard from the menus. You can load and save standards from the same location. More details on what you can actually change within the drafting standard comes later in this chapter. While
