I have to change setting in red box for every new job (see attached).
Is there a way to change them in system settings?

I always call mine "Main Floor" too, however unlike Softplan I NEVER use ALL CAPS in file names, so I have to retype it anyway.

I cant get away from using all CAPS. I guess it is just a hold over from back in the days of hand drawing and lettering by hand-it was always CAPS. As for MAIN FLOOR, I'm like Brian and use First Floor and Second Floor, etc. However have second thoughts about it as I would prefer to say lower floor or terrace floor instead of basement.

1 story homes: FLOOR PLAN
2 story homes: MAIN FLOOR PLAN, 2ND FLOOR PLAN
Homes with Basements: BASEMENT PLAN
I tried the lowercase version and it just doesn’t look right to me. All CAPS here, as this is how I learned.
Ditto... Though, half of the time what I "Label" something is a marketing ploy by the boss. "We should call it this..."
Well that's fine for a marketing plan, but it's irrelevant for construction drawings. I never won that argument so... I just don't care anymore. Sometimes
rooms have 3 names on the plan...

What would be really cool is a
Drop down box with Custom File Names (names we create. not SP)
Oh and Yes, uncheck the tabs for default.

At some point I guess that I decided that I wanted the same names for all types of projects.
So with that being said whether it is a residential project or a commercial project or a single story or multi story it is always
EXISTING FIRST FLOOR
EXISTING SECOND FLOOR
PROPOSED FIRST FLOOR
PROPOSED SECOND FLOOR
PROPOSED HABITABLE ATTIC
PROPOSED FOUNDATION
PROPOSED BASEMENT
And ever detached accessory structures are
GARAGE FIRST FLOOR
GARAGE ROOF FRAMING
CABANA FOUNDATION
And I also don't use the New Project Dialog in SoftPlan. I actually changed my Windows Registry to allow me to start a new folder in Windows Explorer and then right click to add a New SoftPlan File
