Menu syntax

    When in SDI mode with filedia set to 1, the following menu syntax works fine:
    ^C^C^P_.new BoxGutterType1 ^P.
    However, when in MDI mode, the menu call to "new" opens the dialog box, prompting for user response.
    What should the menu syntax be to prevent the dialog box from being opened
    Acad 2002 XP Pro.

    Change filedia to '0' and it suppresses the dialog box, but for some reason,
    it's not passing the template filename to the new command. Perhaps someone
    else could shed some light?

    ^C^C_filedia;0;_.new;"templatename.dwt";filedia;1;

    (suppresses dialog but still doesn't work)

    Set the FILEDIA system variable to 0

    (setvar "filedia" 0)

    Be sure to set it back to 1 when you are done.

    This will work, but only if SDI is set to 1 (single drawing interface mode).
