Allow users to set a default Workplane orientation

[TinkerBarn]

Please add a setting under Workspace Settings → Workplane to define the default Workplane viewing orientation, including its rotation angles.

When I start a design, the Workplane uses the orientation shown in the first screenshot, with the view cube showing Top, Front, and Right. I would prefer the orientation shown in the second screenshot as my default.

It would be helpful to let users set the Workplane angles directly, or save the current view as the default. That way, new designs would open with the preferred orientation automatically.

Default:

My preferred orientation:

@TinkerBarn Good idea, it's built. In Workspace Settings → Appearance there is now "Start view", right under "Start editor in perspective view". Turn and zoom the view the way you like it, then click "Use current view". New designs then open that way, and Home goes back to it. "Standard" brings back the usual view. It applies to every design in this browser, and a design you open again still opens the way you left it. I put it under Appearance rather than Workplane because it's about the view, next to the perspective setting. This comes with the next update.

@TinkerBarn your own start view is in 1.109.0: in the settings under Appearance, "Take the current view" sets how new designs open and what Home goes back to.

@henmedia Thank you so much for implementing this so quickly! I’m thrilled that my idea of saving the view as the default is already in Layerling 1.109.0. I especially love how easy it is to use the current view as the start view. I’ve tested it, and it works beautifully!
