AutoCAD 2013 :: Template Drawing Which Opens On Startup
Sep 11, 2012
I am looking to change the way AutoCAD starts, in particular, the template drawing which opens on startup.
I want to force the user to open a template rather than have one open automatically for them, as we have many different clients all with different standards.
I tried deleting all the template files as an experiment… but somehow a blank template still loaded. How can I force AutoCAD to make the user select a template upon initial load rather than have the default template load automatically?

I`ve been trying to create a new drawing template in autocad 2013, I have saved it as a dwt file as suggested . When i go to open the new template the first thing i notice is that the thumb nail has a black ground , while the other templates that came with autocad have a white background !...when i open the dwt file it opens like a normal dwg file in model space not in paper space. the dwt file behaves as just a normal file .

3 MB file with several Xrefs takes about 20 mintues to open. I've purged, recoverd, and audited the working drawing and all the overlayed Xrefs, with no success. When I open in AutoCad Version 2007, it opens quickly (one minute)

I recently created a grading file in autocad civil 3d 2014 that contains grading objects. When I try to open the file on another computer that is using autocad civil 3d 2013, the file will not open and I get a fatal error. I audited, purged, recovered and tried about everything.

I have created a drawing template for survey and I need to distribute it to the field crews and eventually put it on the server. The template contains description keys, point styles, point label styles, custom point file formats, figure styles, figure prefix database, line code sets, etc.
How do I transfer all the external files along with the drawing template? Is it a straight forward copy? Etransmit doesn't seem to do it unless additional files are manually included, but I can't figure out what files to include or where they live.

I have been having an issue with an old file automatically opening everytime I startup Photoshop. This has been happening since Photoshop crashed while working with this file over a week ago. I have trashed the preferences and do not know where to go from here

Use a wizard

I have the school edition of ACAD 11, and we made a template in class, and now whenever I open it from windows, it opens 2 drawings. It did this with my personal computer as well as the school computer I was on at the time. I'm guessing I changed a setting within the template? It isn't 1 drawing of the template and one fresh one like I read alot here, both seem to be my template file in dwg.

We have a template that opens with extra Prospector items. For example, we have point groups Design Points, Design Points.1, Design Points.2, etc etc. See attached image. We have gone into the template and deleted all of the duplicate items.
When we use the template, it creates all of these duplicate things again and the template has the items again.how to permanently remove these items?

My Autocad has started a new behavior. When (in Win7) I double-click on a drawing file in Windows Explorer, Autocad opens the drawing file and also starts a new drawing, all in the same session of Autocad. Is there some system variable or Windows variable that controls this?

I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?

I've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.

We have a drawing that when opened for Read/Write on the Z420, it will hang, however if opened Read-Only, it will open successfully.
On the Z400, the drawing can open for Read/Write and Read-Only.
PC Specs
HP Z420
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1607 0 @3.00GHz
64-bit
8GB RAM
HP Z400

8GB RAM
I have tested across 4 Z420's and 3 Z400's and have replicated the results as described above on all of the tests.
They are all using the same build, pointing to the same locations, the only different thing is the PC Model.

Everytime I open up a new drawing an error pops up that there is (2) Xref that cant load. It seems to be the same (2) Excel files I have to go to the Datalink Manager and delete them. Is there any way to get in the Datalink Manager without opening a drawing to unlink these?

Every time I open a new drawing a new Inventor session starts up and the drawing is opened in there. It's ok if I go through file-open etc in a current Inventor session but I don't want to open drawings like that all the time. If I open 5 drawings at once they start up in 5 seperate Inventor sessions! I can't seem to find an option to change this, is it an inventor problem or windows?

Looks like something to do with 360 is cause C3D2013 to hang on startup. I have to kill the AcSettingSync.exe service to in Resource Monitor to make 2013 un-freeze.

I have been trying to install and run a student version of AutoCAD 2013 on my computer and it keeps crashing/freezing at the first startup after installation, and never works after that. Installation is all fine and smooth. Starting the program however takes a few seconds to load the plugins then it hangs at the loading screen forever. I've tried turning off the loading screen but the program itself just crashes and appears to be "Not Responding" anyway. I've tried uninstalling all Autodesk products and only install AutoCAD 2013 but it's still not working.
As for my computer, it runs Autodesk Inventor 2014 very well. Specification-wise:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Intel Xeon E31220 3.10GHz
RAM: 16GB
NVIDIA Quadro 600

Layers appear on the “preview” but not on there as the file opens,
In the attached screenshot, a layer is displayed but as the file opens it is not there!
I tried all the very common steps like turning on/thaw/…
And also recovery
And saving it in another file
And other…
But didn’t work
How layers are displayed in the preview while physically they are not there in the drawing as the file opens?

Every so often when I open 2013 inventor it freezes at the startup window. the "progress bar" at the bottom gets about 75% across, then freezes. If I click on the window it, a dialog box appears that will let me close the program or check online for a solution. It has happened on all 7 machines here.

I recently gave my windows a factory restore (fresh start windows original copy), I had no issues with autodesk software before the windows fresh start (i use Revit and 3Dmax too), i even installed and used Autocad 2014 on my laptop before the restore and it ran just fine, problem is now after the windows restore Autocad crashes everytime i open it, installation was smooth and succesfull with no error warninings whatsoever; the problem comes when i start Autocad 2014 for the first time, the initialization window opens and starts loading the files but then (everytime) crashes and freezes my laptop forever, not even the task manager is posible to open
My Specs:
Laptop: Alienware M14x R2
Processor: intel i-7 @2.30 ghz
16 gb RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 650M 2GB
running on Windows 7 64-bit
after the restore i downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card, so that shouldnt be the issue, i also switched the processing tu GPU only.
i already tried lots of solutions i saw on other posts, but none seems to suit my need, i tried the .NET framework thing, switching off the windows Aero theme, but the problem remains the same, it still freezes completely my laptop everytime i try to run Autocad 2014, i even tried installing Autocad 2013, Autocad 2011 and Revit 2014 but the issue is the same in all of them they freeze at startup without any pop up error warnings, just freezes.

We had a project folder named A. We created a new project folder named B and copied the AutoCad files from A to B. On one of our workstations if you open a drawing from folder B, then click save as, the dialog opens to folder A.
Not a big problem, but since the files are named the same it can be confusing...

A blank Ribbon palette opens when I start up AutoCAD. It loads my custom workspace, but it also loads a ribbon palette each time aswell.
I'm using AUTOCAD Map3D 2013 Service pack 2.1
I'm sure there is a patch for this out there by now, I mean there has to be, I mean, why would Auto desk NOT want to fix this problem.
