Live AutoCAD writes a real .dwt through SaveAs(path, ac2018_Template = 66) and puts the description into the summary Comments; headlessly a .dxf template is written through drawing_save_as and a .dwt request is refused with capability dwt_write, naming the DXF route and the COM route. drawing_save_as's "dwt" entry was 5 (acR13_dxf): a DWT request wrote an R13 DXF under a .dwt name. Probed live on AutoCAD 2026 (typelib: ac2018_Template = 66, acR13_dxf = 5, acTemplateDwg absent; the saved file starts AC1032, the document is rebound, Comments takes). SECTION 19 is now 6 tools; SAVEAS joins SHARED_ACAD_COMMANDS; templates/README.md documents the two files per template.

# Bundled drawing templates
|
|
|
|
Five templates, built by the server's own tools — never hand-edited — and
|
|
listed by `drawing_template_list`. Start from one with
|
|
`drawing_new(template="iso_a3_mech")`.
|
|
|
|
| name | standard | sheet | layer set | styles | page setup |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `iso_a3_mech` | ISO | A3 landscape, ISO 5457 frame + ISO 7200 title block | mech | ISO-25 / ISOCP | ISO_A3, monochrome.ctb, 1:1 |
|
|
| `iso_a1_arch` | ISO | A1 landscape | iso13567 | ISO-25 / ISOCP, annotation scale 1:50 | ISO_A1, monochrome.ctb, fit |
|
|
| `iso_a3_pid` | ISO | A3 landscape, ISO 5457 frame + title block | pid | ISO-25 / ISOCP | ISO_A3, monochrome.ctb, 1:1 |
|
|
| `ansi_b_mech` | ANSI (metric) | ANSI B landscape | mech | ANSI / ROMANS | ANSI_B, monochrome.ctb, 1:1 |
|
|
| `ansi_d_arch` | ANSI (metric) | ANSI D landscape | iso13567 | ANSI / ROMANS | ANSI_D, monochrome.ctb, fit |
|
|
|
|
## The two files per template
|
|
|
|
- `<name>.dxf` — the headless twin. Produced by
|
|
`uv run --frozen python scripts/build_templates.py`, which runs
|
|
`drawing_new → apply_layer_set → styles → drawing_settings → layout rename →
|
|
titleblock_apply_iso_a3 (A3 sheets) → page_setup_apply → drawing_save_as`.
|
|
`scripts/build_templates.py --check` rebuilds into a temporary folder and
|
|
fails if any committed DXF differs (the save-time stamps `$TDCREATE`,
|
|
`$TDUPDATE`, `$FINGERPRINTGUID`, `$VERSIONGUID` and the two `EZDXF_META`
|
|
entries are masked; everything else must be byte-identical).
|
|
`tests/test_templates.py` runs the same check.
|
|
- `<name>.dwt` — the live twin, used by `drawing_new(template=…)` on the COM
|
|
backend. AutoCAD's DWT is a DWG container, which no headless library
|
|
writes, so these are produced **on the live machine** by
|
|
`uv run --frozen python scripts/smoke_settings_com.py --build-dwt` (Task 24's
|
|
smoke): it opens each DXF over COM and calls `drawing_template_save(…dwt)`
|
|
(`SaveAs(path, ac2018_Template)`), then the files are committed once. While
|
|
a `.dwt` is missing, `resolve_template` falls back to the DXF and reports
|
|
`source: "bundled_dxf"`; `drawing_template_list` shows `files.dwt.present`.
|
|
The live engine does not open that DXF blank: `Documents.Add` accepts only
|
|
a genuine DWT (measured on AutoCAD 2026), so the COM `drawing_new` converts
|
|
the DXF through `SaveAs(…, ac2018_Template)` once, caches the result under
|
|
the temp folder keyed on path, size and mtime, and reports
|
|
`template_dwt: {path, cached}`.
|
|
|
|
Line endings: ezdxf writes CRLF and `.gitattributes` pins `templates/*.dxf`
|
|
to CRLF so a checkout on any platform equals a fresh build.
|
|
|
|
Rebuild after changing anything the build depends on (layer sets, the title
|
|
block, the dimension presets, the settings facade) and commit the result
|
|
together with the change — the reproducibility test is the gate.
