XS_​USE_​OLD_​DRAWING_​CREATION_​SETTINGS

This advanced option must be set in an initialization (.ini) file.

Set the advanced option XS_USE_OLD_DRAWING_CREATION_SETTINGS to TRUE to use old drawing functionality and old drawing view property dialog boxes and subdialog boxes. In this old approach, drawing object properties can be defined on both drawing and view level, not individually for each view, like in the new view-level approach. View-level dimensioning rules are not supported.

By default, this advanced option is not in use.

Where to change the value depends on your company or project size, and on which level you need to unify certain enterprise-level settings. You can set this advanced option to TRUE in the options.ini file under the current model folder, in company's own company.ini file, your company's own role.ini file, or the options.ini file in firm or project folders , for example.

Note that Trimble no longer maintains the old functionality and dialog boxes. In practice, this means that new features, like custom presentations or automatic view-level properties will not be available in the old dialog boxes.
