after having worked for a while on a drawing file, is there a way to save all the stuff from transfer project standards, plus all the loaded models, drafting details etc, views:  in other words everything except the building model to a template.  The way I do it now is to have to delete everything that is drawn, then save to a template.   If you save the drawing to a template, best I can tell, you just get the same building file ready to be renamed something new.  Same as "saveas" a different name

yeah, delete all what do you don't want and "Save as", in "Files of type" choose "Template files *.RTE" and go to your template folder, give the name and save, if you want to start with that RTE, go to "Settings-Options-File Locations-Default Template File" and choose the new template you are just created...

seems clunky.  You are left trying to undo all the revision clouds (if issued, you can't delte them and chasing down every detail item and line you've drawn in every view to delete.  Ouch.

it is gonna be a bit messy too doing it that way.  It works but maybe you should consider doing it manually by transferring project standards, loading families, etc.

This way you'll end up with a cleaner template file.  Then save as and change to RTE.  Basically doing in the manual manner will let you make decisions about what you actually need and reduce your template file size.
