"Model Info | Units | Precision" is shorthand for:
From the main menu, choose "window" and then "model info". Choose "units" in the left hand column of the resulting dialog. Then set precision to 1/32".
To save a template, start with a blank drawing, delete Bryce, perhaps, and then change any other settings, such as precision, fonts, dimension fonts, etc. Then save that file to a safe place, perhaps naming it "fords_template".
Then select "Window | preferences | template", and then browse to your file. CB.
