| Description | In Catia the Drawing workbench auto-fills certain text fields in the Page Templates that come with the software. TechDraw could implement a similar behavior.
The usage would be something like a button in the TechDraw toolbar to open a dialog with the fields that can be filled in the page template. It could also have a button in this dialog to automatically fill at least some values like Author, Date, Title, and Page. Another option would be to right click the field in the page itself (highlighted in green) to display the options (Author, Title, Page, etc.) which will to fill the field.
In order to implement this well, each SVG template provided by FreeCAD should conform to some standardized name for the editable fields, for example, FC_AUTHOR, FC_DATE, FC_TITLE, etc. The data to write in the fields can be taken from the General Preferences of the Document, or taken from a Spreadsheet, or calculated by Qt in some way.
