I keep having to change my "view scale format" and "dual_dimensioning" settings for each drawing I create.

how do I make this change so it is standard so I don't have to go into the Active Drawing settings every time and change it?

or am I stuck with having to change this all the time?

forgot to say that this is in Creo 2.0

 
Do you have a drawing.dtl file assigned to your format. That file has the default settings useed by drawings.
The config.pro file sets up the modeling environment, the drawing.dtl file does the drawing environment.
There are some settings that can be applied to both files, so be careful as to which file takes precedence.

that was a big help! Thanks! we had a "tooling" dtl in another directory and the settings were exactly like I wanted them, one of the other designers must have created it already.

I know this is a pretty powerful program but.... having to configure everything sometimes is just a PITA.
