This folder is a hidden folder and you will have to show it.

Also go to Tools, Options, System Options, File Locations. There you will see the default location for your templates. It might have to be changed.

this might not always be true...

best option i feel is to, when opening a part or assembly, prt, asm file, change the file type to template, it usually finds the file and the directory.

From here, change all necessary areas, units, dimensions, callouts, etc. then save. this will save the start template over the original

also, once you enter SOLIDWORKS, if you arrange the icons/menus to the way you like them, exit out. this will save them and their locations for future use.


good luck ...
