Default information in title block

Post by Izak du Plessis »

Good evening,

I'm fairly new to FreeCad and very new to TechDraw.

Is it possible to edit the TechDraw default template to save my standard information such that I do not need to edit all the fields every time I create a new drawing in TechDraw? Many fields are duplicated, such as project name, author, material, date, etc. It would save a great deal of time I I can set this up beforehand.

Regards,
Izak

You can edit any template with a text editor. My favourite is Atom.
You need to find the relevant codelines and overwrite the default values with your custom values.
