Beam Bench Docs

Settings

App-wide preferences. Four tabs, one page each.

The Settings dialog (Edit → Settings) groups every persistent preference into four tabs. Settings live in your user profile, not the project file: opening a different project does not change them.

A few fields require an app restart; those are called out on the relevant tab page.

Tabs

  • General: autosave, local API server, update behavior.
  • Units & Grid: display units, grid spacing, snap tolerances, nudge distances.
  • Display: workspace background, antialiasing, fill rendering, motion, scroll behavior.
  • File & Import: default behavior when importing files into a project.

Where settings live

Stored in your OS user profile. See the Settings dialog page for the exact file path on each OS.
