Change default symbology

[IanPryor1]

How do you change default symbology for feature classes?

Thank you for responding.  I'm about to head out for the weekend but I will test these Monday morning and report back.

In every scenario, when I add NLD.rehab, it displays with the graduated colors.  In a brand new .aprx with nothing else added.  With the layer added and symbology corrected and a new .lyrx created, when I add a new copy of the layer in, still graduated.

Somehow, the layer in SDE has inherited the symbology.

This isn't a direct solution, but I was able to get similar functionality by creating a new project template with my preferred symbology already loaded. It won't work for every use case, but it does save me a lot of time.
