Set the bridle preferences prior to inserting bridles in the drawing. Applying one of the Default Bridle Parameters ensures that all subsequently placed bridles have at least one dimension in common, to facilitate planning and assembly. Specify the default dimensions and parts, and whether to insert data tags automatically. Optionally, enable the use of structural members as house rigging points.
The diagram indicates where the parameters are located.
