How to add a new Drawing category?

Hi,

What I want to do is to add my own category to the list offered when you
press File->New . Just like "Flowchart","Map","Network", etc.

Thanks,

Dana

Place your files in a folder and then go to the Options... item under the
tools menu. Select the Advanced tab and click on the File Paths.. button
near the bottom. Add the path to your folder under the templates file path.
If you have more than one folder seperate the paths with semicolons.

If you need to see a sample with in the preview, you need to create a
preview drawing, set the "Save preview Picture" in the Properties for the
drawing. Save the drawing. Reopen the drawing, unset "Save Preview Picture"
and then clear the drawing. This will create an empty drawing, but will
still have the old preview because clearing "Save Preview Picture" prevents
the current preview from being replaced with a preview of the blank page.
