Starting with version 8.0 of the program, the Project Settings were saved when you selected Save as default under Settings, when they shouldn’t be because one can expect them to be different with each new project. Now each new project, or each new beam, column or concept file created outside of a project, has blank Project information by default. However, you can create new beam column, and concept files with the same project information by including them in the same project (i.e. by File, New Project).
