PhotoDraw - Persist default settings?

Persist default settings?

When I first installed PD, as I remember, the default Rectangle object had a
1-point black edge. But during a project I set the default to 3-point blue.

Now, years later, I've been unable to set the default back to 1-point black.
Here's what I've tried: In the Workpage, I choose Settings(plain) under
Edge. I set the color and point size I want. Then I click on Edge Defaults.

But when I close PD and reopen it, PD returns to its same old default
settings.

Can anyone suggest another approach?

Thanks.

PD will always return to its 3-point ugly blue edges. It does not allow
setting the default to anything else. Sorry. Perhaps you remembered
incorrectly.

I know you can set the defaults for the line settings for your current
running instance of PhotoDraw, but the default will return to blue once you
close out and reopen.
