Base view placement remember reference settings, auto adjust margin, fix display style off

[gregory_nickol]

Basically 3 suggestions in one here.

1) When placing a base view, Inventor remembers settings such as view shading or wireframe, hidden lines on or off, thread  feature and tangent edges (everything from the "Component" and "Display Options" tabs of the Drawing View dialog box). It should also remember the settings used in the "Model" tab, at least for reference data, and the options in the "Recovery Options" tab as well. This would help with consistency with other view placement settings.

2) There should also be an option under the Display Style section that will make the margin whatever it needs to be to fully show reference parts. As it is right now, if you have a reference part at the edge of a view, it's a guess and check game to set the margin number large enough to include the full part if desired. This is especially important for things like making manuals or placing equipment into existing areas where the bulk of the assembly might actually be reference to give necessary context to the "focus" parts.

3) When display style is set to off, "Hidden line calculation" should be grayed out un-selectable and automatically function the way it does if "Reference Data Separately" is selected, and here's why:

Case 1, I want to show this bulkhead tee in a view. It's set to reference because it's purchased as part of a separate package. So I set it to All Bodies and Edges as Reference, Shaded, and everything is right with the world.

Case 2, I don't want the tee shown, so I simply turn Reference Data Display Style to "Off". Wait, what's going on? My edges are cut off on the tab where that fitting was... but it's not even there!

Case 3, I ALSO switch Hidden Line Calculation BACK to "Reference Data Separately", and now it shows as it should.

If a reference part is not shown at all, there's no reason to "hide" other parts behind it... because it isn't there. Turning Display style to off should be visibly identical to turning visibility off on the part, because that is precisely what is happening.
