I have somehow lost the ability to open ANY files or make a new drawing. Draftsight 2018 PRO SP1 opens fine, but clicking on the folder icon, the "new drawing" icon, typing 'open' or 'new' in the command window, or file>open/file>new all result in the following:

no navigation window opens, and in the command window, the "drawing file>>" appears (for new "Specify template file>>"). I have been using Draftsight for years, and 2018Pro for a month, and this occurred in the middle of a full day of no issues.

I figured a restart of my computer would fix it, but it has not.

I am forced to navigate to the files via windows explorer to open anything. any suggestions?
