Sounds to me like you need to modify your dimension style, instead of needing a different a3 template. A little more information on the root problem would help because your last comment makes it sound like you have a problem with the dimensions, not the drawing template.

Hello Peter, I believe Don is right, you made need to change your dimension style. Go to "Format" & then "Dimension Style", click on "Arrows"...

Additionally, if you go to the dimension settings "Fit", "Dimension Scale", & "Scale factor", this will scale all dimensions, arrows..

Hope it helps...

Peter:

I use AutoCad at work and Draftsight at home, it's a fairly painless transition from one to the other. It took me a while to figure out how to make the right click of the mouse in Draftsight do what I was used to in AutoCad. What the heck, the price was right and it only took me a few minutes to get Draftsight up and running, so I'm happy.
