Blend Options Setting

I wish to set blend options permanently to "Specified Steps" 70. How can I do so?

It auto-resets to default setting everytime I restart illustrator.

Are you one of those ExtendScript circus fans we’ve seen so much of recently?

 

Theoretically, this should be possible by recording the blend option as an action and running it in Startup Scripts. However, Illustrator froze when I actually tried to run it.

 

Waiting until Illustrator was available by Keyboard Maestro, and running the script, it succeeded.

try {
  var tempDoc = app.documents.add() ; // error if no documents
  app.doScript('options', 'Blend') ;
} finally {
  if(tempDoc) {tempDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES) ;}
}

You may create an action with the desired settings.

The blend setting isn't something that can be defined in this way.

Thanks for the answer, isn't there any solution to it?

I use blend quite often and it gets annoyed to manually change the steps everytime. I want it to be set at a my preferred value.
