Is there a way to make units set to “inches”—permanently in Preferences?

I'm the only user on my iMac, and I've been using Adobe Illustrator for more than 25 years, because it's a great graphics tool. But as far as I know, there's never been a Preference setting for "units" whereby you can set it for "inches" and leave it that way. Each tome you open a new blank document, you have to reset it.

It's a document based setting, so you have to change it in the New Document profile you are using. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.html
