Still struggling with layers

Is there a way to set the layer settings to a default configuration so that every NEW file created has the same settings?

In our previous go-round on this issue:

Is there a way to keep a layer setting from being persistent in new projects?

I like and understand layer names in settings or global for current and future projects. However, is there a way to have local layers only? For example, I cut between 1-5mm thick material. I like the idea of setting layer 05 to the settings I need for 1.5 mm material, which I use most often. But when I use 5 mm material, I need to change 05 to a slower and more powerful setting for that specific material for that specific project. I don’t want 05 settings to carry over to all future projects. …

The suggestion was:

When you start a new design, it will use the layer settings from the previous design, unless you select the Load default layer settings on new or restart option in Edit → Settings → File, in which case all the layers will have their default values.

Have you turned that option on?

In order to set the default values for all the layers that will appear in new projects, the suggestion was:

With that turned on, the Make Default button along the bottom of the full Cut Settings Editor window becomes significant, as it makes the current layer settings the default for that layer whenever you start a new project.

Have you set up the defaults for all the layers you want to load in new projects?

If so, do those default layer settings appear when you start a new project?

If you’ve turned the first option on and set the default layer values, yet those values do not appear when you start a new project, screenshots of the relevant settings will help track down what’s going on.
