Replacing the default drawing on startup (and New) has been resolved by adding a real drawing name to the end of the path for the template directory.   I located this answer under the forum for CAD-templates-blocks.

Just started with Ubuntu package that was version 1.0 then upgraded to
2.0.4.  Many improvements and considerably more readable.  Still I have
some questions or issues after the upgrade.

1) The Library Browser list displays two of every item, for instance the
sample Tux in the misc category is shown twice.  In the actual library
directory there is only the single file.  How to remove the 2nd
reference?  Oh, they both do actually work.

2) What is the name and location of default template or document for a
new drawing?  I have not been able to locate anything to modify for what
I want to define as a blank (new) drawing.  The templates folder had a
file named empty.dxf but that did change anything either when I altered it.

3) When I use "New from Template" it responds with my drawings folder
and not the templates folder.  When I change it to the templates folder
then my Open location also changes.  Yet these are two separate
locations and I did provide the template directory in the path
preferences.  Is there a way to correct this manually in the config file?

Thank you for your assistance,
James
