Import an object depending on the scale unit

Hello, I'm working in centimenters for printing objects wich the size shal not exceed 40 cm x 40 cm. But When i add an object, his default size is in meter, like the cube or the sphere 2 meters. So i have to change the scale every time. Also when i add a text, i always need to scale down, rotate in 90°, change to middle and bottom line. I think it would be very helpful if we could determine these settings in the preferences.

What exactly is your proposal here? Like the other user pointed out you can change scene unit. Also in most exporters you can change forward/up axis.

From your given context of 3d-printing i assume your issue with scaling is when exporting the scene to a unitless format like stl?
