Not sure if this would work but you could try this.
Open your template drawing file (%INSTALLDIR%\Templates\) and place a base view of a .ipt file. edit the view and select tangent edges, click ok. Now delete the view and save the template file.
Create a new drawing and place base view, hopefully tangent edges will be ticked.
Hope this helps,
Graeme
Thanks Graham!
Actually, I had a similar issue where I wanted to views to have a different default label - in my case the TITLE property of the part. Found nothing in the UI, so I adjusted a macro I found on the net:
'Sets the drawing label for all views Public Sub SetAllViewCaptionsToTitle() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oSheet As Sheet Set oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet Dim oView As DrawingView For Each oView In oSheet.DrawingViews If oView.ViewType = kStandardDrawingViewType Then oView.Label.FormattedText = "<Property Document='model' PropertySet='Summary Information' Property='Title' FormatID='{F29F85E0-4FF9-1068-AB91-08002B27B3D9}' PropertyID = '2'> TITLE</Property>" oView.ShowLabel = True End If Next End Sub
cheers,
Matt
Matt,
You can actually do what you're looking for in the styles manager. Select the standard you're using and under view preferences tab, select the pencil next to the display box.
From the Type drop-down list select Properties - Model, and from the Properties drop-down list select Title. To insert this property select the icon which shows an X with an arrow pointing down.

That request should have already been in your database.. This is requested year after year after year.
How about a global toggle to turn on or off a 'Remember last settings' switch for **** near every user-selectable option such as in hole dialogs, drawing view creations...
I'm now using 2012 and this setting/default option is still unavailable!!! How do folk get a resolution to this annoying omission?
