I can relate. I work with CADD software. Throughout the day I will jump between projects in different survey zones. It’s much faster to copy an existing file in a given zone and open it than go through menus and apply certain settings for each file. In fact, the first file I make for a project is projectname_blank. Then this gets copied everywhere.

Reminds me of PCB Layout.

Start a new PCB Layout from scratch? Good luck getting the stack up and constrains correct.
