Change Default Hole Placement

[abreen]

I make a lot of holes, but I almost never use the default Linear placement. Is there a way to change the default hole placement method in Settings somewhere so that concentric is the default?

Hello, I thought that 'From Sketch' was the default?

I allways put the 'point' on the sketch and Hole 'From Sketch' picks them up.

Warren,

From Sketch is default when there's a sketch already present, but Linear is default otherwise. But I don't really care what the default is now, I want to know if it's customizable in options, an xml file, or the registry somewhere.

 I don't believe so. Thats hard coded in the software I suspect.

I've found a solution for this! Even though "Linear" is the default selection, if you choose a plane and a round feature as references the program automatically switches to "Concentric"!

Thank you!  This eliminates one small annoyance for me, at least if I can remember it the next time I need to use Concentric placement.
