Re: Setting preference for Generate free-form ... in

I never thought I'd use the automated wizard. But on recent project I was refactoring code and the wizard was helpful. I too think it would be helpful to set the defaults.

But what I would really like to see is a step-up. I recently worked on a c# project in visual studio. Visual Studio does 2 things that would be immensely helpful.
1) You can highlight code and extract a method/procedure. It's super smart and even determines the parameters and return variable. I'd be happy with the code wrapped in a stub.
Advantage- you get to do the brain dump of getting the code on the screen and then come back and clean it up.
2) Another request would to have the ability to type a subprocedure statement. Right click and have the option to generate a stub.
Advantage - you know you need a procedure - you know what it needs to do but you want to iron out the details later and keep going with your current thought process.

Thanks.

subject: [WDSCI-L] Setting preference for Generate free-form ... in
new procedure wizard (RDi 9.1.1)

New to 9.1.1 (I may be asking a few other questions until I get acclimated).

In LPEX New Procedure wizard, the "Generate free-form D-spec and P-spec code" and "Generate free-form C-spec" checkboxes default to not checked.
Where might I find a preference setting to change that? Or do I need to retrain myself to check those boxes each time I create a new procedure?
