I would like a script or setup wizard for creating office standard templates to be included with the install CD. This script would allow a cad manager to pre-configure a template file from which staff would draft, from a list of illustrated questions. This template would setup the default pens, layers, fonts, and object settings for a file without having to manually open each tool to configure a style. While the default templates included on the CD are nice, I'd like to see it go a bit further.

Templates are easily made (deciding on the standards to adopt is another matter) and can be combined with favorites and modules to create presets for the tools.Actually, as I could've understood that was having a favourite settings for each tool, the problem is when you are installing AC for very first time you do not have any favourites set up, so you have to manually go to the particular tool setting window set that up and save it as a favourite. It's a bit tedious work opening those windows separately - including fonts, pens, materials for each individual tool and prefs, 3D windows settings, Photorendering settings etc. not to mention the calculation menu+the ID manager and god knows what else.
