Not a fan of being forced to create manual supports on every part. In a production environment the automatic support generation in V4 has worked well for me.

In addition to having to take some extra steps with every print job I create with support, I NEVER want to generate support with 4mm pitch and 45 degree overhang. How can I change the default settings for the manual support generation to eliminate a couple more clicks for every job I create?

Or maybe V5 has retained the automatic supports in some other fashion. If so, please share.

Just select the models that need support and then click the auto supports icon in the bottom toolbar (or go to Supports > Generate Automatic Supports). That performs the normal automatic support generation.

How do I change the default settings?
In a production environment, every click, every step I take to set up a job matters. V5 is less efficient to use than V4 because of extra steps required to do the same job.
