ReplyDeleteI am unable to see the template I created of a .dwg or .idw in the default directory. I have even created a new tab in the template directory and attempted to save the new drawing template there.
When I open the dialog box to start a new file, the new tab is there but there is nothing in it. My email is rbrown@simairusa.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rich Brown
