Settings

App-wide preferences across five tabs, including keyboard shortcuts.

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

Settings apply after Save. File actions such as importing or resetting preferences have their own immediate behavior.

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.
  • Shortcuts: search, assign, and reset keyboard shortcuts.

Where settings live

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