Project Setup

To access the project settings, choose the File > Project Setup menu command.

The settings are grouped in the following tabs:

• Project Info – You can type the author’s name, copyright information and project description to save together with the project.
  
  
• Measurements – Here you can choose measurement units for your project.
  
  The Suppress Units check box lets you hide measurement units in the 2D layout (you will see 40’ 00.0” instead of 40’ 00.0” ft, or 2.6 instead of 2.6 m).
  
  You can set the scale for your project (a predefined or custom one). "1:100" means that a one meter distance will be one centimeter on the screen. Also, you can specify the scale as "1/4 in : 1 ft". The default measurement values are taken from the New Project tab of the program Preferences.
  
  The upper left corner of the rulers shows the current measurement units. For quick access to the Measurements section of the project settings, click in the corner where the current measurement units are displayed.
  
  
• Preview – You can choose an image that will be shown for the preview in the Finder when your project file is selected.
