Plan Template

[builtright3]

Looking for a little advise to setup plan templates;

I know that when I save a plan as a template that I want to keep the "CAD Details" and not delete them but what about the "UNUSED CAD BLOCKS"? I don't really understand the "Cad Block Management" and how it works and I don't know if I need to.

Any help or suggestions to help me with setting up templates would help. Looking for wisdom from experience. Something that HELP wont give me. 

Thank You

Cad Block Management

Any time a CAD block is created for a symbol.

You probably don't need unused cad blocks.  This is why we have set the program up by default to automatically delete unused cad blocks.

So the way I understand it, that if I save one of my customer plan files as a clean Template then I would not want the saved cad blocks in my new plan.

I am however going to save the cad details because I want the details to come from the same plan file. Things were getting to confused having the cad details in a separate plan file.
