Default project - hard to do for a generic fix. Most of these have been
mentioned by others.....
1. Create a good data management structure that supports Single project
structure, multiple libraries and different jobs.
2. Create a single project to support the above Data structure.
3. Create a shared location to support templates, design data, and content
center.
4. Enforce standardized part naming when created, rather than renaming files
after the fact.
5. Organize libraries by discipline and part type. Eliminate all duplicates.
6. One part = one part file = one drawing. Drop detailing of multiple parts
in an assembly IDW.
7. Require frequent training to keep everyone on the same page. Once/twice a
month for a couple hours in house or with a pro trainer.
8. Enforce drawing and tolerancing standards. Implement GD&T if the
application demands it.
9. Use Vault, Productstream or another PDM system. Everyone seems to hate
the control, but it saves hours....
10. Concentrate modeling on preserving design intent.

I would love to see a default project file that installs right out of the
box that is set up according to Autodesk Best practices.
And I'd like to see the same thing for Vault.
That way when a new user or company installs and doesn't know how to do all
of that Autodesk has set them up on the right foot right out of the box.
Then if they want to change things later they can, but at least they hit the
ground running.
