Default material for new models

[Hunter]

I could've sworn this worked before, but I simply cannot get Alibre V22 to remember a material of my choice as the default material. It defaults to Berryllium, it doesn't matter how many times I tick the box "Set current settings as the default..." in File Properties.

From Wikipedia: Beryllium is a chemical element with the symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. Within the cores of stars, beryllium is depleted as it is fused into heavier elements.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't use Berrylium.

Pure genius!

Copper beryllium alloy is used a fair bit in injection moulding. Great heat transfer properties while having a hardness closer to steel.

Beryllium dust is poisonous af. Wear a mask when working it. Almost killed an ex-colleague of mine. No joke.

I wish it would default to some astronomically high density material. That way, there's little chance you wouldn't notice that the correct material isn't set for a component of an assembly when doing a weight calculation.

So it cannot be set?

Looks like it can't be set even though the Help manual states that it should.
When I look at the Material Library on my computer it has Beryllium selected, likely I suppose because it it the first one in the list. When I tried to set Steel as the default I had the same results as you, no default Steel.

This is being addressed.

OK, thanks for confirming.

This is being addressed.

FYI, mine defaults to no material, not sure if that relevant or not.
