‘Permanently’ Defining Sprinkler Heads

Tired of defining the same sprinkler heads over and over again? Then do it in your template once and get it over with.

Open up the template you use most often and hit cancel if asked for sheet size and scale. This preserves this option for when you start a new drawing. Next, define the heads you use most often – they don’t have to be actually inserted into the template drawing. Lastly, save the template.

If you are nervous about messing with our template just do a Save As after opening it up and give it a name you can remember.
