Currently grid properties are global. There isn't anything built in for storing them in a template file but you could set up a script to help with that.

A script that would set this goes like this:

script: if ( moi.geometryDatabase.units == 'Millimeters' ) { moi.grid.size = moi.grid.snapSize = 1.0; } else if ( moi.geometryDatabase.units == 'Centimeters' ) { moi.grid.size = moi.grid.snapSize = 0.5; }

Or another possible way is you could set some values in document user text under File > Notes > Document user text and then the script could look there to get the size to set. Let me know if you want to try that way.

You can open a file as a template file by using right click on the File > Open instead of left click.
