Change the default Enterprise Calendar

[Pramraj]

Hi there,
Can anyone provide guidance on how the default enterprise calendar can be
changed.
We have multiple enterprise calendars, and currently the Standard calendar
appears as the default when you create a new project. We'd like to change
this to a custom calendar instead.

When Microsoft Project creates a new blank project, the system ALWAYS uses
the Standard calendar as both the Project Calendar and the Nonworking Time
Calendar. You cannot change that behavior. Instead, your organization will
need to begin creating custom enterprise project templates in which you can
specify a custom calendar as the Project Calendar and Nonworking Time
Calendar for projects created from the template. Then you will need to
mandate that your PMs create all of their projects from one of the available
custom enterprise project templates. Hope this helps.
