A Template is simply a dxf file with some settings ready to use in a specific work.
Like paper size, units, print scale, etc.
It may also contain useful layers like "axis", "furniture", and blocks ready to use etc.

Up to day August, 28 2012 the only way to use is:

Create a dxf (or more) to use as template
File->Open and select the file you want to use as template then
File->Save As and save it with correct name for your work

Since August, 28 2012 three  ways are present:

1. as explained above, of course.

2. use File->New... instead of File->New
With this menu option you select a dxf to use as template.

3. If you use only one template (at least for most of the drawings)
Go to Edit->Application preferences select tab "Paths" and in field
called "Template" add the full path to file ( or use the button in the right)
With File->New... you select a dxf template and
with File->New the dxf file in the Template field are load automatically
