 Topic: AutoCAD Template at startup
Posted: 21.Aug.2009 at 16:24 |

Hi everybody,
I believe I have simple question and I hope somebody has a simple answer ;).
I have an issue which is related I belive to a template. We use in the office CADS detailing suite. When start Autocad, you get a new drawing (based on some kind of template). In this drawing everything is fine, but when I choose another drawing based on any other template, certain things like dimension are suddenly incorrect.
I tried to edit templates to see which one is loaded at startup but it was none of them.
I tried to google this with no result.
I know there is an option for qnew template but this field is left empty.
Can please anybody help?
Thank you

Click with the right button of mouse over AutoCAD ICON on desktop and go to target path and type the name of your file template see this example.
"c:\program files\autodesk\acad200x""your file.dwt"

Hi Arben,
Thanks for reply
I dont think that will solve smth because I'm trying to figure out which template is loaded by default, not to set up default template.

I even added cirlce to each template to see which one is loaded and guess what, the circle was not there

I did check the properties. It says:
"C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2006\UserDataCache\"
But that doesn't really help as it doesnt give me answer which template is loaded at autocad startup.

danielito,
thanks for trying, but as I wrote above, I tried this as one of the first things.
Once again, I'm not trying to set default template, I want to know template is loaded at Autocad startup.

In fact when AutoCAD is loading check about anything under command line.
Shoul you see what file is?
