Hi,
and if you get tired of changing it every time when creating a new drawing, then create a new file, change everything you need.
Save it in a convenient place (maybe with the templates), then go to Preferences - Template and choose your freshly customized template.
Sorry if it's been mentioned before. I've just done it, and had to share.Regards,

No, Szabolcs, that's a good tip. You can always save a file with special sets under the Resources > en-US (in the English version) > Templates folder to have it at hand when changing or choosing your custom templates.
Actually there is a template_utils.rb plugin by Jim Foltz which allows you to easily save a file as a template. Download from here:

But how do you get rid of mm as default - which, if I remember correctly, is contrary to ISO standards.

Do you mean you don't want to show the units? In Window>Model Info>Units, untick "Display units format."

As concisely helpful as I remember. Thanks.

Happy to help.
If you don't want those units to show in future models, remember to open a fresh SketchUp session and make that setting. Then use File>Save as template to make a new default template.
