Please add the option to change the fundamentals around default symbology applied to new items added to a map.

This would be as simple as setting the default line width and colour for line & polygon features, the symbol size and boundary colour for point data.

I often just want to quickly check where a supplied dataset falls in relation to other job datasets. Opening a point datasets loads as very small dots that are near impossible to see on a busy map. 
If we could change the boundaries to something bright (red?) and make them a bit larger it would allow me to skip doing this EVERY TIME when checking data.

 

Spot the new data:

4pt? Why?

My preference would be:

The components randomly chosen by Pro such as the fill colour doesn't have to be changeable, just the currently fixed outlines and sizes.

 

For brownie points on powerful hardware, do it automatically by analysing the scene composition and choosing a high contrast symbol. It is 2025 after all.
