How to make Bridged Networking>Autodetect the default when creating new virtual machines?

Hi,

In VMware Fusion, is there a way to make the default networking configuration "Bridged Networking" with "Autodetect" when creating new virtual machines?

When creating a new virtual machine, the default networking adapter configuration is "Share with my Mac."

I tried going into the global preferences pane -- the one with the padlock and the promiscuous mode checkbox -- NOT the settings pane for the VM! -- and changing the network to Bridged Networking>Autodetect. It didn't help.

I'm not even sure what this global preferences pane is for; it seems to do nothing network-adapter-wise for new or existing VMs.

I create far more VMs where I want Bridged>Autodetect than not, so I'm hoping I can somehow make this the default. A cli "defaults write" parameter would be fine as well.

I'm using VMware Fusion 8 Pro.

Thanks.

Uncle
