AutoCAD Based 2023 Products Not Opening Drawing1 by Default

February 6, 2023 Ryan Wunderlich

Issue:
Starting with the 2023 Products, you notice that when you open the software it does not automatically start a blank drawing named Drawing1

Causes:
This is by design and was a change in the 2023 product line

Solution:
This change is new, and you cannot revert back to the previous behavior and have AutoCAD-based products start with Drawing1, you have to manually trigger the new drawing to get Drawing1
