New drawing types can be created from the beginning or copied from an existing one to make a new drawing type. For every drawing type there are properties that can be defined.

Figure 1: Drawing types properties

Figure 2: Drawing types properties

As seen above, the properties dialog is where the drawing type name, size, insertion, etc are given.

Figure 3: Size of head block

The specification consists of an AutoCAD block in scale 1:1 with attributes or specifications. These and the drawing type properties are described more in-depth in the separate element type block articles found here.

The blocks are located under ...\Standard\1100\1100\templates_drawings. 1100 must be replaced with your company number. 

You are also defining which drawing head shall be used for the drawing type (in the example above _uh_001.dwg is used). The drawing head is always placed in the upper right corner of the drawing.

Figure 4: Size of drawing head

The drawing head is also placed in the same folder ...\Standard\1100\1100\templates_drawings.

Attributes

Attributes can be added in all kinds of drawings, for example, element type drawings, general blocks, shop drawing blocks. The following table shows attributes that can be used in all drawings, shop drawings, for sandwich, hollowcore, formslab and doublewall drawings.

Attributes have to be written like in the tables below.

When editing an attribute, the Tag field is the attribute name from the tables below and the prompt is the description for the attribute which can be filled if that is desired.

Table 1: Drawing attributes

Specifications

The user defines their own values when using specifications, this process is described in Specifications.
The values that are available can then be assigned to the particular drawing type, this will be shown below.

Fields and options

When the specifications are set up, these are meant to be used for the specific drawing types. For specific drawing types, for example for, D Solid Slab, new fields can be added and only fields that were previously added under Specifications can be selected here. 

Figure 5: Solid slab fields

Under Options, the fields for each drawing type are chosen again and this time in the next row multiple options can be written for each field name. 

Note: Field name under Options need to be added under Fields as well in order for it to be shown in Project Manager

Below it is showed how it looks

The final step is to apply the template and see the result in CAD.
