"Format" layer
The original drawing template contains the "Format" layer.
In none of the possible settings for dimensioning, labeling,.... I have not found a function that uses this layer.
What is this layer needed for?

That doesn't mean it can't be used, you can set your doc options to use this layer as detail entities are created.
If you don't like FORMAT's settings, you can change them (in your template). You can also rename it (again, in your template).
Other than the "FORMAT" layer, there's "None" which isn't controllable (that I know of) since it's not exposed in the Layers dialog.

All the "good" news about SWX makes me feel like I'm driving a truck with two trailers straight into a dead end.

Re: Format Layer
I never figured that out either. I finally deleted it from my templates.

Re: Format Layer
I'm guessing the sheet format?
