Grid display off by default?

Anonymous
Not applicable
A minor issue but annoying...

I prefer working generally with the grid display off.

When creating new worksheets and details, the grid display is on by default, and I then go into menu>view>grid display (or use assigned shortcut key) to hide grid. New elevation/section windows open with display hidden by default.

Can the default display of grid be set to off and, if so, where is this set?

No, currently this is not possible to do in ARCHICAD.

I basically have the same question, want the grid off by default. I'll be searching for answers in the meantime but has anybody got a quick answer as to how to do this? Thanks
