Issue:
You would like to know how to launch AutoCAD-based applications with a default template file (*.dwt) in order to have a blank drawing opened automatically.
Solution:
The QNEW command (or CTRL-N) can be the fastest way to start a new drawing. When you use the following settings, QNEW immediately starts a new drawing without displaying any dialog boxes or prompts:
Set the FILEDIA system variable to 1.
Set the STARTUP system variable to 0.
Set AutoCAD to use your template file:
At the command prompt, type "OPTIONS."
Select the Files tab in the Options dialog.
Scroll down to "Template Settings."
Expand the branch by clicking the plus (+) sign.
Expand the branch for "Default Template File Name for QNEW."
Use the Browse button to select your template drawing.
One selected, select "APPLY" and "Close."
When you launch AutoCAD, it will open with your template. If you use the QNEW command, you will not be prompted for a template as AutoCAD will automatically load the template file you designated in the file paths.
