The default is to create a .vstx file if you are using Visio 2013 or 2016. If you are using Visio 2010 you will need to create a .vst file.
Once you select the template you want to use, the Drawing Name field will populate with the project name followed by a number.
If for some reason you want to change the file category you can as well.
Populate company logo on title block
This feature will replace the D-Tools logo in the upper right corner of the pages with the logo you've added under Company Information.
If the "Populate company logo on title block" function doesn't work for your logo, e.g. it is a long rectangular logo vs. a square-shaped logo, you can create custom Visio Templates.
