Settings

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

The Settings dialog (Edit → Settings) groups every persistent preference into six 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.

Account connections change immediately. Save applies to other preferences.

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.

Connected accounts

Connect Craftgineer or PrintCutCarve from Preferences or the corresponding Library tab. Free and paid accounts can connect to their own available files.
