ResourcesAutoCAD starter template (DWT)
Metric: millimetres, ISO sheets A4 to A1
Units in millimetres, ISO text and dimension styles, four layouts (A4, A3, A2, A1) at 1:1.
Free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. The ZIP holds the template, a plot style table and a README; no add-in needed. Layer names, colours and styles are common practice, not a standard: check them against your office or client standard. Library terms (CXL-1.0)
