uploads/175428/A3.dwguploads/175428/_PRO2012.dwgHello kc13, you should make a file that will become a block inside your drawings when you insert it.
Please find here some examples. Please tell us if you want information on how to use blocks. Have a nice day. Edited by philippe JOSEPH - 16.Jan.2017 at 08:03 |

Hello kc13, you can make a template with or without A3.
You can make a template with a A3 inside in the model space or in the layout space by inserting the A3 file that I have uploaded. If you insert it in the model space you will have to scale it to the scale of your object. Then you explode it ONE TIME ONLY and have access to a double rectangle of 420 mm x 297 mm. If you print it of the inside rectangle it will give you a scale 1/1 on you A4/A3 printer. In your template, draw an example of each layer, dimension style, etc... as it's done in each of the 2 files uploaded. Save it with the name that you want in the directory that you want and right click on it to do it "read only file". Please tell us if this helped or not.

Are you going to make use of Layouts and paper space viewports? Yes or no?

Then as previously suggested you want to create your title block and border in the layout not in model space.
Have you determined what layers you would like to have? Do NOT put everything on layer "0", color white. Will you be making use of attributes? |

Hi John, I will not be making any use for attributes, all I need is how to make the template and be able to use it for my drawings, it made the A4 about 3 years ago, it works fine, but I've forgotten how I made it. I would like to be able to print on A3.
Many thanks Kc |

A4 is the smaller of the two sizes. If you are printing to A3 then you are scaling the drawing up to fit the paper size. I don't think that is a good idea. Make your template to match the size of the paper you are printing to.
