 +====Templates====
 +
 +There is a special folder inside the application folder; named "templates". You can save empty files of various applications here. For example; you could store a default Autocad DWG or DXF file here which contains your office template. So when a new Autocad file is to be made, //Git Winch// will pick that template and use that -- this saves a lot of time, and standardizes the way your office works.
