I just saw this one! It all makes sense now!
The default template save file directory is on your local computer. I'll be
honest, they change that folder often enough that I never try to memorize
it.
Open up the options dialog (type OP). The first tab is the files tab. Click
on it. About halfway down, there is a section for template settings. This
defines what folder AutoCAD should store and look for templates.
You can open that section up, and see where the default folder is located.
Browse for that folder (it's in a hidden folder by default, so you may have
to edit explorer to show hidden files). Anyhoo, it MAY have kept your
template when it overwrote that directory when AutoCAD was reinstalled.
It is very good practice to edit this section of your options. Your
templates should really be stored in a different folder (preferably on a
server that gets backed up - but any folder that you have access to and can
be backed up is good).
The idea being that, you have a folder (let's say it's in
/users/bob/documents/cad/templates) that the AutoCAD installation process
doesn't mess with. When you reinstall AutoCAD, the first thing you do is
open up options and remap the template folder to your files. Bam, 1 minute
fix.
