- [Instructor] Our schematic templates can, of course,
be completely customized and edited to fit your own needs.
Generally, each individual company
will have their own specific templates,
and maybe even a number of templates for their schematics
with different sheet sizes,
title block information, and so on.
In this case, we're just gonna use
the Solidworks PCB defaults for our schematics templates.
We'll quickly show how we can make some slight changes
or adjustments to some of these templates.
So here I have just a default template
and title block given here.
If I just go into my project tab
over on my right hand side here,
I have a bunch of project options we'll see later on,
templates, and document options.
So if I just hit the templates drop down here,
I have specific project templates I can jump into,
or just as well as a number of the general templates
that are pre-created and predefined
within my Solidworks PCB.
So I can choose any of these,
generally they're built for specific sheet sizes,
as you can see, and of course,
choose another file or manage your templates as well,
if maybe your company already has its own specific templates
and title blocks already built,
and of course you can use or import those as well.
In this case, I'm just gonna use an A4 size sheet here.
And once I'm trying to apply that template,
it's gonna ask me if I want to apply it
just for this one schematic document
or for the entire project,
all of the schematics within your document.
In this case, I only have the one schematic
so it doesn't matter too much,
but I will say all schematics for my whole document,
I can choose whichever one I'd like to.
And now I can see just a slight change of my template there,
and again I see that A4 size sheet coming in.
Notice of course my title block has some information here.
And most likely, you'll want to customize
and edit that information as well.
So what I can do here is, again,
within project tab, I have my document options,
and here I have a number of options.
Here's my template that I'm seeing coming in,
of course I can change it here as well.
I can see maybe what units I'm using,
sheet options, and the parameters tab is gonna hold
a whole bunch of the parameter information
of this specific document and project as well.
So we can see here is where I can change some
of these values for my specific title block parameters.
So maybe I want sheet total, of course just
one of one in this case,
and maybe I wanna give it a title here,
and I can throw in other parameters I may want
within this specific title block
here within this specific document.
And of course, these can be customized, edited,
and so on to create your own custom title blocks
and templates as well.
In this case I'll make a few simple changes, say OK,
and we can that information coming in here
on my title block or my template.
Of course, I can make changes to template files specifically
and save those out as a custom template.
So it would just be the same, I'd just do a file, save as.
But instead of saving out as a schematic document file,
just hit my type drop down here,
and I have schematic template.
So this is how you just customize, change,
your title block, your settings,
your whatever template information you like.
And then just make sure to save it out as a template,
and then we can use this as a template in any future
projects or existing projects, whatever it might be.
Again, in this case we're not going too much into
detail in the templates here,
we're just going to use some of the Solidworks PCB defaults.
