Auto Pens in Viewport

toman311 — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 11:57:59 GMT

Usually in the office people draw in our pen weights titled "Standard". When we print, we like to have it set to "Standard Black & White". Is there any way to get a viewport to automatically transfer to "Standard Black & White" when creating a viewport?

Basically, instead of automatically going with the "By View" setting, I want the viewport to go with a custom setting every time I create a viewport.

All you need to do is modify the default settings of the Drawing Tool.
What you see on Layouts are Drawings, so if you change the Pen Set setting of the Drawing Tool, that setting will be applied to every new Drawing placed on Layouts.

Thanks!

I usually just drag my drawings onto the page, so I didn't know how to do it the way you mentioned; which, that way is the way to do what I want to do.

Thanks again.
