Is there anyway to change the default tab that you start WF5 drawing mode in?
While I understand the concept of the ribbon flow, that flow, for the most part is only relevant the very first time that you start a drawing. Each subsequent time that you start a drawing, you already have the layout done (or mostly so), you've probably added tables, you don't really want to review (review seems kind of like a silly tab anyway), and printing is kind of a island of its own.
So, that leaves us with Annotate. Most of the time, you just want to change these things. You want to add dims, add notes, symbols, move dims, move notes, etc. These are the types of things that most of my users want to do most of the time when they call up a drawing. For us, it's really a rarity that we call up a drawing and complete it one session, so on all subsequent sessions, I would like to start in the Annotate tab.
Because there's probably no way to know whether a drawing is new or old (unless PTC would read the .drw.X revision number, how's that for an idea?), I'd just as soon always start in Annotate. We "work" on drawings more than we create new ones.
Is there a config option, or hidden option, that allows us to specify which tab to start on?
