INFO BOX - SET EXISTING PARAMETERS TO CUSTOM DEFAULT

ELEVATE
Booster

Can I set the existing parameters in the info box to what I typically use, Instead of having to change it every time? 

I.E. dimension tool - font size is set at 0.28, would like it to be 7.0  as the default.

Same is true for Arrow heads, ect......

See snapshot.

 

Thanks

You have to set the default values in the tool settings before you use the tool.

The thing is though, you can change the default settings at any time and using the pipette tool will also reset these default settings,

 

You should set up favourites for what you want.

This way you can have as many 'default' settings as you want.

Also, if you set those default values in your Template file then they will be set to those values in every Project started based on that template file.
