Remember not to open a DWT file. If a DWT file is opened, it will be edited. Always use either the NEW or Qnew command. When saved for the first time, AutoCAD will prompt the user for a name and location. Otherwise the user will be working in the DWT file and will mess things up for you and others trying to use it. Creating a template is fairly straightforward. A window will open where information about the DWT file can be entered. Type in a brief description of the file.
This will help users distinguish it from other template files. Enter in the measurement type: English or Metric. There is also a reconcile layers setting. The options are to save all layers as unreconciled or to save them as reconciled.
When finished press OK and the template is ready to use. Now add it to the Qnew command. When it comes time to update the template use the open command to open it. This will allow editing. As with all things CAD there are good and bad ways to implement template files. Perhaps the biggest tip is to limit what is done with templates. Too many presets in a template are overwhelming. Users will tend to ignore what is there and create their own layers and styles.
There are two aspects about this that are wrong. There is no way to know what will be needed for any instance. Along with the template file create a method of creating layers. That way when special case layers are needed, users will know how to create them— and will.
Creating a few layers for a special case takes less time than scrolling through thousands yes literally thousands of layers in a file.

Do a some research on what a template is and how to use them. A template file has a DWT file extension. They can be opened, saved, copied, and edited just like a standard file.
