View Full Version : Yes/No Project Parameter: Default to No?

I want to add a Yes/No Project Parameter called Shadows to Views. The idea is to do some API work such that I can manage Shadows in those views where Shadows is YES. Toggle them on in sheeted views for printing, then off again everywhere, etc. However, how do I control the default? In this case, of course I want NO as the default, but it seems YES is my only default option. Yuck. Now I either need a tool to set the parameter to NO in every view to start with, or I need to use a goofy parameter like Shadows Not Controlled so YES is the right default. Yuck on both counts! Is there a way to set a particular Yes/No parameter to default to No, or am I stuck?

Thanks,
Gordon

The default is what I'd call tri-state, as shown by the greyout tickbox. If you examine the parameters value in this state you'll find the default is 0 or No. So it does do what you want.
