Default Sheet size, frame width, and item seperation

How can I set these defaults? Because you have to enter sheet sizes for every imaginable thickness that may be used, I would like to set the default sheet size to 4x8, since that is our most common sheet size. And our frame width and item separation are almost always the same as well. But I can't figure out how to make it default to that. I am looking at hundreds of material types, and I can't find a way to do it other than one by one.

I do not have a lot of materials called in my Process Material List but the video will show you how to mark a Package as the default under the Material.

Thank you for that reply. The problem is that I would have to do that same process for hundreds of different thicknesses of material, as far as I can tell.

You are correct.  I would think you would do this over time as you use the different materials, selecting the default sheet, and their assign properties, as you create/use them.  After awhile, you will have the most used ones set.

right. But I want this all pre-set for the 12 other users who will be migrating over to fusion (hopefully soon). There must be some way to change the default so we don't have to do this every time the thickness is off by any amount.
