I always have to change the zone assignment or pipe size label settings after opening a template file.

The template file stores settings and layers. You can modify the template file to save new settings or to add or delete layers.

1. Click on the File > Open command.
2. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the ...\Pro Contractor Studio 1\Templates folder. The default location on a 64-bit operating system is C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Republic\Pro Contractor Studio 1\Templates.
3. Select a template file from the list and click on the Open button.
4. Once the drawing is open on your screen, select View > Zoom to Paper. This will make the paper fill the screen from top to bottom.
5. Using the Layer Manager, add any additional layers you may need on all of your drawings. Maybe you need a layer for Fencing or Metal Edging.
6. For irrigation purposes, open the Tools > Options > Irrigation command. Adjust any settings as necessary such as zone or pipe size label settings and click on an Apply button to the right of the settings and close the Options box.
7. Click on the File > Save As command. Navigate back to the ...\Pro Contractor Studio 1\Templates folder and overwrite the template file you selected in step 3.

The next time you open this template file from the Startup Screen it will fill the screen from top to bottom and include any additional layers or settings you added.
