Okay, I'm a couple days early with my New Year's wish, but I'm hoping most of you won't be at work tomorrow or Friday to read the blog. :-)In honor of the new year, I thought I'd post about the NEW and QNEW commands.There are a ton of different ways to start a new drawing: from the Application Menu, Quick Access Toolbar, Ctrl+N, and of course typing NEW and QNEW. (Did I leave any out?) Most of these ways involve choosing a template from a dialog box. �But with a little help from the Options dialog, you can suppress this dialog when using the QNEW command.To do this, you need to specify a file for the "Default Template File Name for QNEW". � As you see above, the default is "none", but you can put in the path to your own DWT file instead. (Note: DWT, not DWG.)Once you have a file in there, clicking the New icon on the Quick Access toolbar or typing QNEW automatically starts a new drawing from your specified template, without sending you through the dialog box first.You can also use the CUI editor to change Ctrl+N to call QNEW instead of NEW, thereby bypassing the dialog box every time. Just go to Keyboard Shortcuts, Shortcut Keys, and change the command for Ctrl+N to QNEW instead of NEW. (Click on the image to see it full-size.) Hope everybody has a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend -- see you in 2010!Go to the original post...
