To run the same script at startup but create a new drawing using the
MyTemplate.dwt file as the template, enter the following in a Terminal window:
AutoCAD -t MyTemplate -b setup
This command creates a new drawing and issues a sequence of setup commands
from the setup.scr file. When the script has finished running, the command
prompt is displayed.
If you want to use the default template for the new drawing, you can omit
the -t switch and the template file name.
