TABLE OF CONTENTS In the previous chapters we have discussed many different things that will make your worksheets unique. We have discussed how to change many of the default Mathcad features. We have discussed styles and how they give a consistent look to your calculations. We have also discussed how to set specific formats for your numerical results. In most cases, the changes made only affected the specific Mathcad worksheet you were working in. In Chapter 7 Templates, we discuss how to save all of these customizations so that they can be used over and over again. We do this through the use of templates.
Templates are essential in order to have a consistent look for all your engineering calculations, especially if you are working with other engineers. Templates allow Mathcad customizations to be applied consistently to all calculations. This chapter discusses the benefits of templates.
