    I'm revisiting my templates and am kind of wondering how others are
    migrating their templates as SolidWorks evolves.

    In the past I had a bevy of part templates set up for the different
    materials I commonly use. With the advent of the Material manager
    this is rather redundant, so I'm wondering what types of part
    templates do y'all use. I could see a different one for different
    units (fractional, decimal, SAE, Metric, etc) but not much else. You
    can tell I haven't thought much about this, so I'm throwing it out for
    opinions.

    There is less of an issue for assemblies as I currently only have two
    assembly templates (one decimal, one fractional) but I've got a slew
    of drawing templates and that's not likely to change.

    Thanks

    I have templates for metric and inch units for parts and assemblies. I
    have templates for drawings with different sheet sizes. I don't use any
    for materials. I have thought of having a different template for large
    assemblies, to keep the various settings separate from small assemblies.
    I've heard of people using different templates for sheet metal parts,
    which makes some sense.

    Thanks. As I don't do any large assemblies this would pertain to me.
    The sheet metal template makes sense as well, but luckily I don't deal
    much with sheet metal.
