New drawing from a template

[charles_neelyFG4LK]

I'm trying to get a new drawing from a template other than the default. Below is what I have. When I run it, hangs up w/ the path on the command line. If I press enter it creates a new dwg but with the default template. 

;SheetCreation
(defun c:nft ()
(setq template(getstring "C:/WSB_ACAD Support/_C3D/2024/01_Templates/Civil-C3D-Styles-2024.dwt"))
(vla-activate (vla-Add (vla-get-Documents (vlax-get-acad-object)) template))
(princ)
)

Why not set your template as the default when you type New. Just do OPTIONS FILES TEMPLATE, set the Template name including path, set the Template path also.

The other way is use "OPEN" it works with dwt also. 

(command "OPEN" "MYDWT")

Change: 

(setq template(getstring "C:/WSB_ACAD Support/_C3D/2024/01_Templates/Civil-C3D-Styles-2024.dwt"))

To be:

(setq template "C:/WSB_ACAD Support/_C3D/2024/01_Templates/Civil-C3D-Styles-2024.dwt")
