You should also take a look at Part 2 of this article, in which we come to a very, very reluctant conclusion. Don't send us a nasty email about how we discourage women from entering architecture.

A template is a drawing file that includes some of the following settings: Unit type and precision (DDRMODES) Drawing limits (LIMITS) Snap, Grid, and Ortho settings (Status Bar) Layer organization (LA) Title blocks (Tutorial) Dimension and text styles (DDIM, ST) Linetypes (LT) Common blocks (Tutorial) In most cases, you do not want to set these things every time you begin a drawing. Most CAD businesses use a company-wide template that is updated from time to time. Creating a Template To create a template drawing, you first have to set up any parameters that you feel you would need (see the list above) in a regular drawing.
