That works! I had put C:\Users\Jim\Documents\LibreCAD\Templates\empty.dxf (with a custom empty.dxf file in that path) and it didn't load. Then used "Template A.dxf" instead of "empty.dxf" - C:\Users\Jim\Documents\LibreCAD\Templates\Template A.dxf and it Template A.dxf loads on startup and File/New! Yea! Thanks for the tip @Gary_S!

If I want to load a different template from C:\Users\Jim\Documents\LibreCAD\Templates I have to do a lot of clicking on File/Open to get to C:\Users\Jim\Documents\LibreCAD\Templates Then, when I want to open another drawing on my original directory, I need to change directories back. Should I report this as a bug?

It would seem that when one uses "New From Template", it should go to the directory specified in Options/Application Preferences / Paths / Template and not to the current directory. Same with Paths / Parts Library, Fonts, and Hatch Patterns.

Thanks -Jim
