Is it possible to configure Draftsight to startup without the SmartNew template loaded?

Question

I am looking to open DraftSight with a blank screen, no drawing/template loaded. The same screen you get when you close all open drawings. Is this possible? Presently on DraftSight 2018.

Answer 1

There is an easy fix to this inquiry. Open the application, then type Smartnew and a new drawing will be created with the name NONAME_n.dwg.

To set this as default, follow the instructions:

• Click Application menu > Preferences (or type Options).
• In the Options dialog box, click System Options .
• Expand Open / Save As > Template file name for SmartNew.
• Click Browse to set a different template drawing.
