I know little about templates and in my business it is probably not useful but I should look into it more. As for formats themselves, a few things you need to know: 1.

There is a special format file (*.frm) that by default are located in the PTC folder. This is a straight forward 'drawing' where you can 'sketch' all your template geometry, insert logo pictures (never done that myself), import 2D data,. This part is important. All 'relations' driven border data is entered in drawing tables. You cannot do this with ordinary text, only tables.

Variables start with '&'. These have to be added to your 3D files or you will be nagged. Umm prompted to enter the data when you start a new drawing with said format.

Tables are reasonably powerful from being able to merge cells, format the text in the cells, and hide lines that shouldn't show up. I spent 2 days making 5 formats from scratch for one client. Came out pretty nice if I do say so myself. I've done NX. And formats was not something I enjoyed about that platform. It was all admin controlled.
