    To retain Millimetres as the default application-level Unit, try this:

    (1) Quit Illustrator.

    (2) Go to <user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 22 Settings/en_US and delete "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" file.

    (3) Go to <user>/Library/Preferences/ and delete "com.adobe.Illustrator.plist" file (this is a legacy preferences file from older versions).

    (4) Illustrator should then retain any application-level preferences you choose.

    Regrettably, this does NOT fix the Units within the New Document dialogue box — all presets/templates keep defaulting to Points, despite Millimetres being the application-level preference. Adobe needs to fix this! :-(
