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" ------------- Ing Arben.Allaraj http://cad-drafting-corner.blogspot.com |

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 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?
