I would like to have a custom list of project templates when you first open a designer. i.e. when you go to create a new project from the designer, the list of possible templates is 1 or 2 that are customized for the projects we do the most. Is there a way to set those?

Thanks

There is no way to do that at this moment. The best way to this is to create a template and export it as a project, then whenever you want to use that template, import that project.
