I am trying to find what template is used when launching Civil 3D 2020 for Drawing1 when QNEW is set to NONE.
In my options I have Default Template File name for QNEW set to NONE and Drawing Template File Location set to network drive folder containing all our company templates. This way when a user selects new, the dialog will open to that location. But on start up, drawing 1 is using a template I can not find/determine.
I need to change a sysvar monitor variable in that template so the balloon notification does not appear on start up. I know the default out of the box is:
C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Autodesk\C3D 2020\enu\Template\_Autodesk Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS.dwt
I have tried changing it here, but this is not what is loading. I know because if I open that template after changing the sysvar I do not get the balloon notification.
I also noticed that drawing1.dwl and .dwl2 appear on the network location. What template is it loading?
Thank you,

@pendean Actually we have 6 different templates, one for each discipline. This is why we don't want to set a default new. So we set it to NONE so the dialog appears for them to choose their appropriate template. The problem is on initial launch. I dont know what template its using for start up.
I don't know if there is one. NONE makes it sound like it's using defaults set in the program.
You could always make a desktop icon for each discipline and use the /t switch to specify the template.
Also. You could set the SYSVAR in the acaddoc.lsp file.

@AllenJessup You beat me too it. I just realized I was overthinking it. I added it to the acaddoc.lsp and it resolved the issue. I was just coming on here to post that and saw you updated your post. 🙂
I will give you the credit though since you beat me too it. LOL 🙂
I went through the same process. I posted about the Icon customization. The thought "Wait a minute" there's an easier way. Some sort of Parallel Processing I guess. 😉
