Been using Ideas10 lately and looking for a drafting preferences solution. I'm looking for a default file of some type where I can set the drawing precision to default to Precise hidden? I would also like to set the default dimensioning and text sizes to 2.5 height (current default 3). I'm sure ideas has a file somewhere I can change a few settings so each time I start a new drawing, I can save some time. Any suggestions from the group would be great.

Thanks!!

Hi,
From MasterDrafting, File>FD>Save> write the file masterdrafting.mm . In this file will be there all settings of your drawing in that moment.
For make changes, you must edit a dimension in your drawing, setting for example the correct text size, before of exit active tha switch KS-Lock settings.
From MasterDrafting, File>FD>Save> overwrite the file masterdrafting.mm . In this file will be there all changes of your drawing in that moment.
Excuse me for my bad English

Fabio,

Thanks for the reply about writing out the masterdrafting file. I understand that what ever setting I write as output File/FD/Save will be stored in this file. Is this file than attached to the model file, so the next time I open the file, it will use this new Masterdrafting.mm file?

Can you also change some setting and menu locations for Master modeler.

Thanks for your help.
