### Description

Create new, empty drawings using this command. New drawings are completely empty (no entities, only one default layer, no blocks). As a frequent user of QCAD, you might instead want to create drawing templates with the layers and blocks you use the most and probably a drawing border. Once you have such a template you can load that instead of starting a new drawing from scratch. Please refer also to the command New from Template to learn how to use drawing templates.
