Automatic View and dimension In drawing

Hi,

I am using Creo 5.

I have the following quesitons:

1. Is it possible to create a template which creates a drawing with three views with dimensions (show and erase dimensions) in the relevant views?

if yes, What is the procedure to create a User defined template.

2. How to create a drawing which automatically detects the part views are falling outside the format and adjust he scae and views to get the views inside the format.

I checked in the Pro/e help.Unfortunately, I couldnot get any details.
 
There are two ways...

One: A generic template, which you create in a drawing
mode with Empty views and a show erase. Point to note...
you need to plan what the "Front" view is going to be
during the modeling stage.

Second: is applicable for family parts, where in you can
call the drawing of the Generic part as a template for
the family members.

Point to note: While both save time, a little bit of
clean-up is necessary in both the methods.
