3rd Angle Projection in drawings

(OP)
When projecting views on a drawing how can I set my drawing standard for projection type. SW seems to be defaulting to 1st angle projection and I want to use 3rd angle projection. Is this even possible?

Thanks,
Ken Johnson

dblcrona,

Right click in a blank area of your drawing and select properties.  In the upper middle of the Sheet Properties there is an option for setting Type of Projection.
