I made my first template today with a bunch of attributes and it works fine in the drawing that I created it in but after I saved it as a .dwt and inserted it into the page layout of another drawing none of the attributes came with it as far as I can tell. When I double click the block it just opens the "Edit Block Definitions" window. Any ideas?

As usual, great another great video! I did have one question. I bought the fundamentals course and began using your templats. However, whenever I went to print any of them, the edges would always get cut off. I had to go into all of them (letter, legal, ledger, and Arch D) to adjust the "edges" so my drawings were not getting cut off. Did I do something wrong when downloading, setting up, printing, etc...?

When I add my company logo to a template, sometimes it doesnt show up when I add that template to another file. Does the dwt and png have to be located with the dwg file so it can reference them?

-this way we can always see the actual output - without always going to Print Setting to preview how it looks
