Go to the Tools menu and select Save sketch as template from the list.

Give your template a unique name or overwrite an old version.

Hit OK. Your template is saved as a plain text file

Now you can use your template with the InitSketch tool. Look at the InitSketch tool documentation for instructions on how to use your saved templates
