Every time i create a new drawing in Wildfire 2.0, i have to go into the drawing options to change 2 settings:
model_display_for_new_views no_hidden
tan_edge_display_for_new_views tan_dimmed

Is there any way to set these as the default for new drawings? I tried adding them into my config file but it wouldn't let me. I tried adding them into the options attached to our drawing format but it wouldn't let me do that either.

I can create a mapkey to make it easier each time, but it'd be great if it could be automatic. any ideas?

They are dtl options stored in the drawing templates. If you don't use drawing templates I think you should be able to create a *.dtl and point to it with the config option drawing_setup_file.
