You can do this with a plugin from ShaderOP

http://shaderop.com/projects/set-defaul ... index.html

Also in the SI resources(search for Default Display)

You’ll have to create a Plugin with an event.
For doing that, is not that difficult, you only need an extremely basic level of scripting knowledge.
I’m writing from my cellphone right now but I’ll write you an example when I go to my office on monday.

This is a plugin I wrote a long time ago when I used to write in VBS.

It has 3 events,
On Start up (on Softimage start up)
On End New Scene Open (after a new scene has been opened)

You could add more events like siOnEndSceneOpenEvent for being executated after an Scene has been opened.

Just put the code you want into the part you want to. For this you could just copy & paste from the log (be sure to put it in VBS) and modify it as you like.

Then put this code into a file with a .vbs extension and save it in your Plugins directory
ex: C:\Users\myara\Autodesk\Softimage_2015_SP1\Application\Plugins

Code: Select all

function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
    in_reg.Author = "myara"
    in_reg.Name = "NewEvent Plug-in"
    in_reg.Major = 1
    in_reg.Minor = 0

    in_reg.RegisterEvent "siOnEndNewSceneEvent",siOnEndNewScene
    in_reg.RegisterEvent "siOnStartupEvent",siOnStartup
    in_reg.RegisterEvent "siOnEndSceneOpenEvent",siOnEndSceneOpen

    XSILoadPlugin = true
end function

function XSIUnloadPlugin( in_reg )
    dim strPluginName
    strPluginName = in_reg.Name
    Application.LogMessage strPluginName & " has been unloaded.",siVerbose
    XSIUnloadPlugin = true
end function


' Callback for the siOnEndNewSceneEvent event.
function siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent( in_ctxt )
    Application.LogMessage "siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent called",siVerbose

    'Suspend Drawing to make changes on the Viewport
    '--------------------------------------
    set vw = Desktop.ActiveLayout.Views.Find ("View Manager")
    vw.setattributevalue "suspenddrawing","true"
    '--------------------------------------
    
    'Set B View camera : User, Turn on Scene Info & Selection Info on Cam B, change to shaded view
    
    vw.setattributevalue "activecamera:b","User"
    SetValue "Views.ViewB.*.camvis.sceneinfo", 1
    SetValue "Views.ViewB.*.camvis.selectioninfo", 1
    SetDisplayMode "Views.ViewB.UserCamera", "shaded"
    
    SetValue "Views.ViewA.*.camvis.constructionlevel", false
    SetValue "Views.ViewC.*.camvis.constructionlevel", false
    SetValue "Views.ViewD.*.camvis.constructionlevel", false

    '--------------------------------------
    'Put Back Drawing
    vw.setattributevalue"suspenddrawing","false"
    '--------------------------------------
    
    siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent = true
end function

' Callback for the siOnStartupEvent event.
function siOnStartupEvent_OnEvent( in_ctxt )
    Application.LogMessage "siOnStartupEvent_OnEvent called",siVerbose

    ' Run siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent
    call siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent( in_ctxt )

    siOnStartupEvent_OnEvent = true
end function

For the headlight, you can go File>Preferences>Display>Display Options> check "Enable View Head Light for New Scenes"
