Default View Settings

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way to change the default view settings when moving any kind of drawing from the project map to the view map?

settings such as: pen set, model view options, structure display, graphic overrides etc.
Everytime i create a drawing this way I have to change all this, every time!
it seems to be set to the same setting every time i create from scratch, just wondering how I change these default view settings?

There is no default as such.
You control what you want at the bottom left of the organiser before you drag from the view map to the project map - or you can change the settings after you create the view.
I find the easiest way is to open the viewpoint you want to save to make sure it is set up correctly.
Then these 'defaults' will already be set in the organiser and will be used when creating the view.
This way you have seen the view before you create it so you know it is correct.
If you then have other similar views you can just go ahead and drag those across with the same settings.
