Predefining Sprinkler Heads in Your Drawings

If you use the same types of sprinkler heads in your jobs, consider setting them up in your template so they are available for each new job you start up.

1. Pick the Open command
2. Set files of type at the bottom to be Drawing Template (*.dwt). This will display all of our templates.
3. Pick either Hydracad.dwt or Hydramet.dwt (metric) to open it.
4. When the Drawing Setup dialog appears, choose your Scale/Sheet Size.
5. Pick SaveAs and save this template to a name of your choosing. Give it a description as well
6. Now define your sprinkler heads and Save the template when you are done

PS - You can also do this to preset the HydraCAD font style you want new drawings to use
