New Drawing Opens to a Copy of Frequently Opened File

Hello,

 

Every time I open a 'New Drawing' with the "+" sign next to the Start or other open drawing 'tab', I get a copy of a particular drawing I work a lot in containing source blocks for my palettes, rather than a blank default AutoCAD template drawing like it used to. 

 

Is there a way I can get this fixed? I'm afraid of my original drawing being affected, and also generally open a blank drawing to test features or blocks, so having it be already modified is a royal pain.... 

 

Thank you!

Hi,

you started a new file by another file as template!

Run NEW command, set filetype to .dwt and select your common .dwt (for example acad.dwt for imperial units).
