opening a Drawing with the Application Menu
The Application menu offers a quick method for opening drawings. You can even
see a thumbnail preview of the drawings and arrange drawings that you fre-
quently edit so that they are easily accessible. Here's how:
1. To open a new AutoCAD file from the Application menu, select New
Drawing, as shown in Figure 1.29.
This opens the Select Template dialog box, where you select a tem-
plate on which to base the new drawing. Opening a file with a template
is covered in Chapter 2, “Learning Basic Commands to Get Started.”
