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 youKajito2009-08-21 16:25:05

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.

Go to tools-->options--->files check about Qnew?

that was one of the first things I checked, but the field is empty
I even added cirlce to each template to see which one is loaded and guess what, the circle was not there

[/QUOTE]Check the AutoCAD Icon properties.

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.

Hi
 
command: options
 
select : FILES  
            Template settings
             default template file name for Qnew
 

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.Kajito2009-08-27 19:14:38

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

Arben,

bingo.
The file path appeared for a second under the command line.

Great
Thanks a lot
