Set Default Render and Lighting Modes

Hi,

We use 'Master' DWG files to XREF in all of our models for various projects and as a company prefer 'Full Lights' and 'Shaded' as our viewing settings in Navis. However, the software defaults to 'Head Light' and 'Full Render'. I am aware of the setting under Options->File Readers->DWG/DXF->Render Type where you can set the default to 'Shaded' but unfortunately this setting does not actually get our DWG files to open in 'Shaded' mode, they still open as 'Full Render'. I haven't had much success finding an option to set the default lighting mode.

So two issues:

1. Get the Render Type setting to actually work and open DWG files in 'Shaded' mode.

2. Figure out how to set default lighting to 'Full Lights'.

I realize it's only a couple of quick toggles to change the view settings when opening a session but it would be nice not to have to do this and it seems like a pretty reasonable thing to be able to configure.

Thanks!
