When starting ProStructures for AutoCAD default Drawing1 opens instead of a ProStructures Project. 

Background

To keep a default Drawing1 from being created you can set the AutoCAD startup variable.

Steps to Accomplish

Using Startup variable

1.) Type Startup and the command prompt and select the <Enter> key

2.) Type 2 and select the <Enter> key.

 

Now when you start AutoCAD there should be no Drawing loaded unless customization has been added.

 

What are the settings?

0 = Displays the Select Template dialog box, or uses a default drawing template file set in the Options dialog box, on the Files tab

1 = Starts without opening a drawing template file, and displays the Startup or the Create New Drawing dialog box

2 = Starts without opening a drawing template file, or if available in the application, a custom dialog box is displayed

(AutoCAD 2007 only has options 0 & 1 available.
