new drawing tab issue

When i click on the plus sign at the top of the screen to open a new blank drawing it loads a huge drawing instead of my default template.  It names it Drawing 1.  If I click on the plus sign again it loads the same drawing and names it Drawing 2.   I don't know what I did to cause that nor how to correct it.  Help.

The first thing I did was create a new template.  When starting AutoCAD the new template is used and everything is working as it should.  It is only when I click on the plus sign at the top of the screen that this problem occurs.  AutoCAD is not using the template when creating a new tab.

Problem solved.  I right clicked on the plus sign.  The options "New" and "Open" appeared.  I clicked on New and then chose acad.dwt as the template.  Now when I click on the plus sign the new drawing that opens is using the acad.dwt file.

Hi,

right

The [+] uses the last used file in NEW command.
