Summary
QNEW starts a new drawing from the current default drawing template file
and folder path specified in the Options dialog box on the Files tab. You can
set the default drawing template file to any drawing template file or to None.
When a default drawing template file is set to None or is not specified, QNEW
displays the Select Template File dialog box (a
standard file selection dialog
box
).
The behavior of the QNEW command is determined by the STARTUP system
variable.
■ 1: Displays the Create New Drawing dialog box.
■ 0: Displays the Select Template dialog box (a standard file selection dialog
box
) or starts the new drawing using the default drawing template file.
If the system variable, FILEDIA, is set to 0 instead of 1, a
Command prompt
is displayed. If you set FILEDIA to 0, this prompt is displayed regardless of the
Startup setting.
