Customizing permanent settings in preferences menu
I'm looking for a way to set my personal preferences.
How can I do that?

Examples:
Polylines start out with a thickness of 1.
I don't need that. I need to start out with a thickness of 0.125

Opening a new file there is always the compass there. I don't need that. If I needed I want to turn it on.

Creating new "rooms" there is always the square footage displayed. I don't need that.

There is more. What I need is that I can set the defaults so that the polylines start with a thickness of 0.125, opening new file has no compass and creating a new "room" no square footage is displayed unless requested it.

Sorry, there’s no way to change the default values you requested without changing the program. So unless you’re a programmer, you’ll have to live with it.

My solution: make an empty standard file that you open whenever starting a new drawing. Here you can set all your preferences.

Hi and thank you for your reply.
When I start SH3D it always opens with a certain "base template".
Applying your idea, where could I find that "master template" so I could modify it?

So, you are not allowed to tell people the truth? You have to lie to them? I would never do a job like yours!

I think 411621 was speaking about the end of my sentence "you’ll have to live with it", probably too offensive for some American people.

It's just a clumsy attempt to make you feel bad and fix that "issue"...

...and that is unprofessional and I hope, she/he will not teach that to the people in her/his class...
