Your workspace preferences

Preferences change your workspace on this computer. Drawing fonts and each page's reference-grid settings are saved with the drawing instead.

For reference-grid settings, see Exporting the document.

Interface appearance

Open User Preferences... to choose theme, interface font, and size. Use Ctrl+- or Ctrl+= for quick size adjustments.

To change text in the drawing and its exports, see Fonts, formatting, and drawing appearance.

Space around the canvas

The inspector can overlay the canvas or reserve space beside it. Full-path display changes how the project path appears in navigation. The file-picker preference selects the built-in or platform picker when supported.

Some platform options, such as native window decorations on Linux, require a restart.

Under Canvas, Show reference grid in Redline controls whether enabled page reference grids are visible while editing. The same personal preference is available in the page inspector. It applies to all pages without changing exports.

Inputs and local history

Bindings and contextual shortcut hints are also preferences. The references throughout this help show your current inputs rather than assuming the defaults. Inputs and keyboard shortcuts explains customization.

Saving undo history to disk also requires a restart. See Undo, branches, and local history.
