setting default view display options for new drawings

setting default view display options for new drawings

setting default view display options for new drawings

(OP)
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?

RE: setting default view display options for new drawings

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.
