Dimension Type: Projected vs True

[Sam]

Is there an system or document option that allows the ability to set
all new views to use projected dimensions?

We are having a problem with named drawing views being set to True,
what happens is that the model is created incontext so that it is
rotated at an angle not perpendicular to any of the standard planes in
the assembly so we create a named view with the model rotated into a
position for the drawing then use that named view for our drawing
views but it always asks if we want True or Projected dimensions, we
always want Projected dimensions. Is there a setting that will default
to Projected dimensions? Or some registery setting?

Ideally this would just be a simple matter of training, telling the
users to choose Projected dimensions but with too many users I am
afraid one slip is going to cost us.

Thanks,

Sam

I once wrote an addin for a former employer that detected and warned
when views were placed with true dimensions. I'll see if I can find
it.

Tick,

Thanks for the offer, if you find the macro post it here.

I found it. I will post to my website tonight.

It's not a macro. It's an addin. Installs like a regular program &
attaches to SW.

Addin is now posted to my website

Addin monitors new view creation in SW drawings and warns the user if
a newly created view is in true dimension mode.
