Hi Lindsay,

If you are trying to use Custom paper size you created, then double check it has correct dimensions. Or try to remove existing Custom paper size and then recreate it, be sure to type correct dimensions for paper width and height.

When you create new drawing in AutoCAD it always uses one of templates, that is why it shows "Select Template" dialog window when you use NEW command to create new drawing.
