It would be nice if aliases placed in the Templates folder in the VectorWorks folder could be used in the "Create Document" dialog when making a new file
Currently if you try to open an alias from the "Use Document Template" pull down menu, VectorWorks tells you the file is unrecognizable.
If aliases could be used as templates, it would allow you to keep templates in a common location, like a server, so that if templates are revised (we are always updating our templates), they could be revised in one location rather than having to copy the revised template to the application folder on each workstation.
Also, if the templates pull down menu could show folders with sub-menus, it would allow the user to to keep various sets of templates in other folders to reduce the length of the pull down menu when choosing a template.
