Other drawing settings
When you create a drawing, Creo Elements/Direct Annotation provides you with a default owner, number, and viewset name for the drawing. You can define how Creo Elements/Direct Annotation determines those values in the Default Settings browser, and you can set the default projection mode. To change Drawing settings;
1. Click File > Settings > Drawing. The Default Settings browser (table) opens with Drawing settings.
2. Change the following settings.
