Is it possible to add to the default geometry?

I've only just started using OS, so it's possible there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do. Let me know if that's the case. I've noticed that I typically have to add a couple of sketches to every drawing/parts studio/whatever I make to add an axis line on the intersection between each of the default planes. This lets me essentially use the origin as the axis of rotation on any revolves or circular patterns without having to add that geometry to those sketches. Let me know if there's a better way to be doing this as well!

You can create a mate connector (created at the origin) while patterning or revolving. That’s probably the best way.

Someone created a custom feature which puts some axes like you are suggesting into a part studio, or there’s a Mate connector at origin feature out there too, which I think can add three at once.

I have been looking for similar way and the best I can suggest is to save a file with the 3-axis saved as construction sketch lines, using _A at the start of the name.
Then to create a new file right click and copy workspace, then name as required.

There are a jillion CFs that do this. Here's mine (definitely the best):

I know mate connectors are The Right Way - but personally I find them very fiddly. I just use this instead.
