Improvement to object context menu Autosmooth

Image self-explanatory, I think it could be used in other parts of blender too, I don't think it's amazing or perfect but it's a cool concept worth sharing :)

Hi Costa, I've been thinking about it for "a few" years... Real.. Simply for the reason that in my personal opinion everyone turns on autosmooth at some point. And that's really annoying. Whether hard or subdiv modelling. For each newly created object... over and over again.. The guys at Blender have already taken a big step here to avoid some clicks. With your suggestion, everyone starts to set the autosmooth factor every time. If I understand that correctly. A good standard value for or the autosmooth would be 49.8 because that smoothes out a 1x subdiv cube and turns into a smooth shaded sphere and every other good modeled non subdiv mesh also. This is my experience and maybe others have another favorite value for "autosmooth". Would be cool to have the option in the blender settings.

I agree, that there can be default autosmooth angle in settings. You are right, ppl have different preferences. For me 30 is too much and i prefer autosmooth where angle is small (18°) for Hi-poly. But with Low-poly it can be stronger (35°)
