Layers
- B.
Text Styles

Correct Answer
D. All the aboveExplanation

By including layers, text styles, and dimension styles in a template drawing, it ensures consistency and efficiency in the creation of new drawings. Layers allow for organizing and managing different elements of the drawing, text styles define the appearance of text, and dimension styles control the formatting and appearance of dimensions. Including all of these elements in a template drawing saves time and promotes uniformity in design.Rate this question:
