So you want a blank drawing at startup? Updated

So if you are now using AutoCAD 2016, the previous methods to remove the “New Tab” (now the “Start Tab” do not work.

Now you have type STARTMODE and set the variable to 0. Then type STARTUP and set it to 0. Now you will have a blank drawing on startup. Don’t forget to set the default drawing for QNEW otherwise you will get the default template.
