Is it just me, or did the Drawing View Thread Feature option get switch to default OFF, where it used to be on? Did I do something on accident to make this happen? Does anyone know how I can get it back by default?

I think you might have it backwards..
I don't remember it being on in previous versions but its checked by default now with 2014 SP1..

Your reply gave me a clue. My 2013 default.idw had threads shown by default, for sure. I used that template when I moved to 2014, never bothering with modifying the stock template. When Inventor 'migrated' my old template it seems to have made the executive decision that I should have threads off by default. I protested, but was unheard. Opening the 2014 stock template shows threads by default.
Thank you, Autodesk, for providing me with the opportunity to study every change I made to my default template as I completely rebuild my it from scratch. Not allowing preferences to be configurable is a wise approach to designing technical software. It is a very good use of my time.

Mojo this is hitting me now going from 2014 to 2015. Did you ever stumble across the magic solution to why this happened?? Thank you!

Thanks for your input, Ladislav. I'm not certain the 'should default to the same status as previous IPT' is doing what it should. Please check against this workflow: create a fresh drawing template in 2013, which will have threads shown on by default. Make a part with threads. Make a base view of that part in 2014 using the 2013 template. I expect you'll find no threads. Apparently if you bump this up a year you'll see the same thing.
