How can I get a drawing sheet template (*.drwdot) to insert as a second sheet in my drawing? If you right click on the tab of the first sheet and say 'add sheet' it brings up a GUI that only allows you to insert a sheet format. I want to insert a template that has all my linked properties in it to auto fill out the title block. This works great with sheet 1 but addational; sheets are a problem.

You can't. You can only use 1 template per document, and only when it is created.
You can save the format from the template as a separate format file and use the format on the second sheet. You can even save the format on the second sheet as a template which you use for multi-sheet drawings. The format should have the properties in it already. These should be able to be filled out automatically as well.
Steve,
Each drawing sheet can use a different sheet format if you wish. Each format can have the links to custom properties that you want. I'm not quite sure what the problem is - it works fine for me.
