i tried to reset my drawing template and could not find the following configuration options;

1. font size and style for drawing text

2.show or hide leading zeros in decimal dimensions

3. view background

4. arrow sizes and types

5. Pro/E menu text sizes and fonts

6. Make hidden lines dashed.

I could only manage to set them each time I make a drawing, but obviously this is time wasting and they need to be made in a template, pease help
 
If youare in your templatefile, move your cursor to an empty space & right click for properties/drawing options. Make your edits there & update. Save the file where you store your templates. Open config options & change these for hidden lines, background, etc. Double check the environment. Whatever settings are there, you can control in the config setup.


Save the setup.
