    Hi,

     

    >> by right clicking in the model tab then click the new template then it will show a dialog box

    If you do the right-click and then "new layout" ==> you don't get any question or dialog, you get a new empty layout added to your existing ones.

     

    If you try to add a layout from a template (not just "new layout") then you are asked for the fie to get the layout from.

    And for getting the filedialog instead of typing the full path into the command-line you should set FILEDIA to 1 (>>>details<<<).

     

    BTW: if you save or open a drawing, did you get the file-dialog then?
