Where's the dwt

[chance]

In my desktop short my target has the following......

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\acad.exe" /t "tpg.dwt" /p "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\adt.arg"

I can't seem to find the tpg.dwt file....anywhere...not on my desktop nor the server.....so where is autocad put the template file....little confused here....does it automatically default to the acad.dwt on my desk top.....or what....

I don't know where they're located, but have you tried a windows search (searching all files in C) with "*.dwt" it'd throw you all dwt files and there you would be able to see where they are.

Open your OPTIONS dialog and click on the "Files" tab. I don't use ADT, but there should be an entry for "Template Settings" or something similar. You should be able to find where your dwt's are located in there.

I have done a couple of things....and this why I am puzzled....first ....
windows is setup to see hidden files and folders....so you would think that under

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Recent...there would be a template folder...not here....so I did a wildcard search *.* in the whole Recent folder....nothing...

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data....no Autdesk folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Templates.....no Autodesk folder....

so I went back to C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\Template and there is no tpg.dwt to be found....

so I went into Autocad "Options\Files\Drawing Template File Location....nothing there...but 4 autocad files....

my problem is this....when someone double clicks the autocad icon on their desktop....a file is created with the same layer combinations....which is weighing down the file and then they have to be purged....I am trying to clean this up from the get go....and fix other things with in this mysterious template file

I decided to just make the dwt file...I was curious to what template autocad defaults to if the dwt file it's looking for is missing....thanks for your help
