    I have created a drawing template using the tutorial. I would like the
    author of the drawing seperate from the author of the model file. Is
    this possible? Also, will it prompt a user or preferably auto
    populate. I have searched but I cant find answers to this.

    Thanks in advance

    You can have the designed by (model designer) populated from a custom
    property of the solid model and the drawn by (drafter) populated by a
    custom property of the drawing file.

    Include these in the drawing.

    $PRPSHEET:"Author" - Uses the Author property from the part.

    $PRPSHEET:"SW-Last Saved By" - Shows who last saved the drawing. This is
    auto filled.
