I've started playing around in the trial version of 2015 while I wait for my SN. I've discovered that for some reason, in the drawing environment, all views come in by default with the display option "Thread Feature" turned off. This is different from previous releases and is EXTREMELY annoying. There are times when I don't want to show threads, but that is not common.

pfft... who needs to see threads anyways
The issue with Threads not being displayed in part drawing views by default, was the result of a project to make various drawing view settings become persistent across Inventor sessions.
The default of "off" can be remedied by setting
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion19.0\Applets\DrawingLayout\Preferences\DrawingFormat]
"BaseViewDefPart"=dword:01111501
After that it will be remembered. This might be useful for use in a team type situation where you want to preset/deploy this.
Other values that are now better persisted are:
1. Thread Edges
2. Interference Edges
3. Tangent Edges/Foreshortened
4. Hidden Line on/Removed View
5. Shaded View
Each of these is stored by view type, (Ortho, ISO, etc), as well as by filetype, (iam, ipt, ipn).
Regarding the issue with "T" now starting a new sketch & creating sketch based text, that seems to be an artifact of the fact that the sketch tab is now always active in 2015, in part modeling, & it seems we missed that duplicate "T" command alias - I've created a defect for further investigation & will let you know if I find a workaround.

I've had that with every release.
You have to place a view before you can change it (and remember to delete that view before you "save as Template").
Chris,
i have tried to turn on the threaded feature to on by default. is this the correct spot to make the change? i tried it once but it did not appear to save.
That looks right, Fori. Here's a screen shot of mine with the new value showing the full path:
Edit: Make sure you have Inventor closed when you do this, I don't think it would be happy with you hacking the registry while it's running.
Hi Chris,
How about setting the default for assemblies? What is the dword for that?
Thanks,
Joan
Please see this article for additional info about this:
Thanks,

I'm not quite sure how to change this setting of the default thread feature. can you give it to me step by step?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion19.0\Applets\DrawingLayout\Preferences\DrawingFormat]
"BaseViewDefPart"=dword:01111501
Jim,
Setting this through a registry setting is only really necessary now, if you want to roll this out as part of a larger scale deployment. If you just want to set this to be your default on your own machine, you can create a drawing & when placing a view you can go to the Display Options tab & check the box that says Thread Feature & then it will be remembered going forward.
There's quite a bit more info in http://beinginventive.typepad.com/being-inventive/2014/06/persistent-drawing-view-options-in-2015-th...
Hope this helps,
Chris
Chris, i have tried this several times and it still defaults back to an unchecked box.
i have tried to change it in the registry but mind looks like this?
Looks like you created it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion19.0\Applets\DrawingLayout\Preferences\DrawingFormat
