Hi Kent,
Surely every drawing even if "not based on a template" is in fact based on a
"template" of some nature. And it's clearly one the OP doesn't like. He
can make a template from this event, simply by creating the new file from
this method of opening - change the parameters to the required ones and save
it as the new template.

I think they have that. It's the option of making a new drawing *not* based
on templates (the
choices shown in their image) that they'd like to eliminate, so people
*can't* start drawings that
don't conform. Or, it sounds as though it would be acceptable if the
"no-template" from-scratch
base drawing, wherever that lives, could be adjusted so it does conform.

Hi,
Surely it would be easy to create a template which uses your company
standards and open with it.

It is possible to disable the following function in the AutoCAD
configuration?
If you go to File>New you get the following dialog box. At the bottom right
there is a little arrow pull down beside the open button. Under it you can
choose to open a drawing in either imperial or metric units.
Problem is they are not set up using the standard format we use. It uses
east as 0(zero) and anticlockwise as the direction of measurement. This
causes problems with xrefs and autofie
lds etc. and simply doesn't comply
with the company standards.
Is there some way to change this so that either it does comply or that it is
disabled?
Thanks,
Steve
