Preference Settings

cdubea

Hi there,

I have a settings/preferences question.

I have a custom default template with all my preferred fonts etc set.
When working document with components, saving those components to a file results in the preferences being set for what I'm guessing is a default state.

Is there a way to override this "default" state and have the saved components use the default template, or even better the settings of the parent document?

I hope so because this is an amazing time consumer. I like to split out the individual components and then dimension them and such and then reimport them. Sometimes changes are necessary and doing a saveas results in having to reset the preferences.

Help!

thanks

There's no [easy] way of changing the default settings...
A fix would be this... open a new empty skp using the desired template.
Import/load the just save_as'd component skp, inserting it at the origin [you'll want to explode it, then delete the original imported component in the browser too ?].
Now save this new skp with the same name/path as the component thereby overwriting it with the copy that now has all of the font/dim styles etc you need...

Ok. Thanks. I was afraid of that. Maybe I'll write a ruby to set them with one click.
