About Application Settings

The Application Settings window allows to set the global options and settings of the HighDesign application, and personal preferences of the user. 

This dialog is used to set the application preferences to customize the work environment, interface theme and usage options. 

  • On macOS, you can open this dialog by choosing the “Settings…” item of the “HighDesign” menu. 
  • On Windows, it is available at Edit ▸ Settings.

The App Settings window provides three panes: General, Workspace, and Drawing. The Professional Edition adds two additional panes, Shortcuts for setting and editing the keyboard shortcuts, and Templates to save and organize custom project templates.

When you want to reset all the preferences to the default values, launch HighDesign while holding down the Command (cmd) and Shift keys on the keyboard.
