Importing display options

Any way to import existing display options into another existing project. I'm trying to set up a template, have everything all set except for display options.

I found an article in archi-guide, but it references V8.1. Any easier way way to do it in V9. The 8.1 way to do it makes me start from the beginning with DOs.

AFAIK: The display options are not transferable since they are neither attributes nor part of the work environment. An unfortunate oversight by GS. You could merge the file with the model in it into one with the correct display options, but this may be more work than it's worth if you have developed elevations to copy/paste.

A link to Laszlo Nagy's article for anyone wondering:
