Automatically apply view template to new drafting views

[Darin_HDR]

Am I missing something or is the whole applied automatic view template a huge oversight when it comes to drafting views.

Meaning, when I create a drafting view, I can't select the drafting view type until after the drafting view is created. From what I can tell (though I have not done a deep exploration of this) drafting views are always created on the default Drafting View type. So, since the "View Template applied to new views" parameter only is ever applied at the creating of a view, this parameter only works with the default Drafting View type. No matter what I set the "View Template applied to new views" parameter to in the other Drafting View types, I will always have to manually switch the view template from the default Drafting View type, if it is not the view template I want applied to the view.

Hopefully that is all understandable. 

So I guess I want to know if I am missing something or if there is a way to select the Drafting View type before it is created.

Thanks.

In 2024, if you create the Drafting View types in your template, you can assign the correct type after providing a name and scale via the Type Selector and it will inherit the View Template assigned to the type. Just a little different than other view type selection.

Okay...faked me out...sorry. The view template settings are all there but they don't apply...so yep still an issue.
