Thank you very much, Engineer Alex, for your effort to provide this valuable and useful content to us.❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope that you will create a group on Facebook that includes those interested in the Inventor program if your circumstances allow you, in order to exchange experiences and skills, as well as raise the problems that we can face and benefit from Each other also shares the works and designs that we create.

You're very welcome! That's a great idea. When I get time I will look more into that possibility. Thanks for watching and thank you for the suggestion!

At the end you get a Style Conflict briefly but just go through it. Does it matter? I get that alot in mine and some people say not to ignore it. What do you think? Otherwise I liked the presentation.

Thanks for the video - could I change the border lines, as well as the title block? And could I add a table?

Thank you.

Good evening there! How can i create numbering of the sheets ,so when i open a new sheet in template show 1 of 2,3,4,5.....?

[@fernandodossantos2255]

So sorry only just now saw your reply to Douglas with regards to my query on borders and title blocks.

[@engineeringapplied]

No worries! The Custom Title Block video is now up on UA-cam and I will be producing the Custom Borders video later this week.
Thank you for watching!

Hello @fernando dos santos, I wanted to follow up with you on the drawing border video. It is now up on UA-cam. I hope it helps! Take care and have a great weekend!

[@douglasmichel6361]

Do you have a link to the other videos about Title blocks and borders you mention? Thanks, stay safe

[@engineeringapplied]

I'm currently compiling the lesson plans and working on getting those videos released within the next two weeks. I'll also be adding links to the title block and border videos within this custom drawing template video when they are complete. Thanks for watching!

How would you get the drawing to be in metric? Thanks.

[@aidanobrien6704]

Nevermind i got it. Thanks a mil man

[@douglasmichel6361]

Can't I just use an already designed layout (dwg) from AutoCad in Inventor? The line work that is. Also, is the line weight editable?

[@engineeringapplied]

Great question. You should be able to open the AutoCAD .dwg file in Inventor and then follow the same set of steps in the video to create your new template for use with inventor from the source AutoCAD file. For example:
1. (In Autodesk Inventor): File > Open > AutoCAD Template of Choice
1.1 NOTE: You may need to use import an AutoCAD file rather than "Open". To do this, simple go to FILE > Arrow next to OPEN > IMPORT DWG
2. File > Save As > New Template File Name of Choice.dwg (Be sure to save this in the following directory: This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > Public > Public Documents > Autodesk > Inventor 2021 > Templates > en-US)
3. Now you can edit your new template as shown in the video. To change the line weight and other style elements you can go up to the "Manage" Tab > "Styles and Standards" section of the ribbon > "Styles Editor" button while in your drawing file. This will allow you to change the style of the elements in your drawing (such as line weight in table of revisions, line weight by drawing layer, etc.)
3.1 NOTE: An easier way to do this is to RIGHT-CLICK on the block of interest after importing the AutoCAD file (title block for example) > then go to "Edit Definition" > Then RIGHT-CLICK on the lines you want to change the weight of and go to "Properties". Here in the line's properties menu is where you can easily change the line weight.

@@engineeringapplied Perfect. Works like a charm and saves me a bit of time.

Nice! I'm glad it helped.
