FWIW, I could never find a registry setting which controls the view. Instead
I used a workaround. I created a blank ipt file with the following code in
Module1:
Public Sub AutoEdit()
Dim oView As View
Set oView = ThisApplication.ActiveView
Dim oCamera As Camera
Set oCamera = oView.Camera
oCamera.Perspective = True
oCamera.Apply
End Sub
I saved this file as New.ipt, then used the following command line switch in
the Target field of my Inventor icon:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 9\Bin\Inventor.exe" "S:\Inventor\In
Process\New.ipt"
Of course this path is specific to my network drive path, so anyone wanting
to duplicate this would need to edit the command line switch accordingly. An
interesting effect of this is that upon launch, Inventor will not display
the Open dialog. I actually prefer this, because I often cancel this dialog
to open a drawing from the most-recently used on the file menu, or create a
new file from the New toolbar flyout button.
Speaking of command line switches, the only one I found through
experimentation is "/p" which when followed by a path/filename will print
the file.
