I edited one of the standard templates for plan profile sheets (copy, rename, edit, save) and used sucessfully for an early stage of the project. It contains four viewports for: plan, profile, legend, and table. It carries a customized border and title block. And, of course, a north arrow.
I have used this template to generate another which only change is the layout page set up from 36 x 24 to 34 x 22. I changed the name of the layout tab from "ARCH D Plan and Profile 40 Scale" to "ANSI D Plan and Profile 40 Scale".
Here is the problem:
When I try to create the viewframes I choose my templet recently created, but the window "Select Layout as Sheet Template" does not show my recently created new layout "ANSI D Plan and Profile 40 Scale". It does not even show the "ARCH D Plan and Profile 40 Scale" (the old one) layout. So, I end up with other scales and paper sizes which I do not want. If i give up and choose the old templet, then, I get an error message saying that that templet cannot be found (but I can see it there in the templates folder).

Please, help. Thanks

When you created the viewports did you select the viewport type for the "plan" viewport and "profile" viewport? You do this in the properties.
