Saving Command Changes

No I didn't fall off of the face of the earth, I have just been on vacation and buried in snow for the last couple of weeks (36"-48") so to start off the New Year I am going to Highlight an item that I found in the latest TechFAQ. It has to do with setting up a override for the default style. For example, say your default style for creating alignments was set to Exisiting and that is the way you want to keep it 99 percent of the time. But we all been in cases where we have to keep changing the style from one to the other, which can be quite the tedious task espically if you have alot of items that will be using the same style.

By accessing the Settings tab on the toolspace and Right-Clicking on the Drawing name and select Edit Drawing Settings, once there select the Ambient Settings tab and expand out the General section. Find the "Save Command Changes to Settings and change it from No to Yes. This little setting can give your tired little fingers a break from clicking your life away in the endless drop downs, tool palettes, etc.

Keep in mind that you can use this feature deeper into the Settings tab. For every "Object" on the Settings tab has it's own "Edit Feature Settings", which can also be changed if you like the way this handy little setting works. This is the same setting that can also be found under some of the Commands items that are also located in the Settings tab. Simply find the command that you would like to turn this feature on, Right Click and select Edit Feature Settings, turn the Save Command Changes to Yes and tell your little fingers sorry for all the anguish you have caused them.
