Changing default wire type in cable and harness

Is there a way to change the default wire type for cable and harness?  I know that you can change it under the harness settings and wires will maintain that default for that assembly, but I would like to know if there is a way to change the default in a global setting and have that be the default for all future assemblies. The current default is a .200 diameter blue wire, but my company uses a default 12 gauge black wire for our cabling.

Hi! Unfortunately, the default wire cannot be modified.

You can modify any non-default wire though. The library file, "Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl" is an xml file located at C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\Design Data\Cable & Harness\en-US\

 

Many thanks!
