If you are importing DXF files from AutoCAD into Solid Edge, Solid Edge will prompt you to select a template file.

3. Once opened, go to the location where you store your template file. In this case (image below), it’s the Solid Edge Template folder. Copy the path of the template you wish to use and paste it into the .ini file in the Template File line
4. You will also need to add the template name to the .ini file. So your end result should look something like this:
5. Save the .ini file and test to verify that the change worked.
