maliakuhl Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I know how to set my default drawing for QNEW in the files tab in the options. However, that is NOT the same drawing that opens when I just open AutoCAD for the first time that day. Is there another place I set that? It's inconvenient that I have to open CAD and then do QNEW in order to get the template file that I want to work from. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It sounds like you want to substitute your template file for the one that opens by default. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maliakuhl Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes, that is what I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 One option is to use the procedure outlined here...http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/acadblog/open-autocad-with-a-specific-template/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The other option is to click on the file and open it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maliakuhl Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks for the link, I tried what they said and it opens my template, but there's an "error" message saying it cannot find the specified file. I don't understand the message since it still opens the drawing. Any ideas why that message might be popping up? Nevermind, I got it to work Thanks!

ReMark Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Did you test it a second time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
