Summary: I'd like View Templates to be supported in Family Files/Editor.
Description: I'd like View Templates to be supported in Family Files/Editor.
How Used: I like to setup standard views within my Family Templates for working, exporting to CNC CAM software, etc. However, since I can't use View Templates within a Family, any new view I create while making a Family resets to the default. Additionally I cannot simply Apply a View Template to a view like I can in a Project, I have to manually reset the Views one at a time.
This is a waste of time.
By having View Templates available within the Family Editor I could easily control view setups, so that not only can I test and preview Family behavior prior to loading those Families into my Projects, I can setup views faster for direct export and/or printing from my Family Files for other uses such as quality review and CNC production.
Feature Affinity: Family Editor
