Workspace Settings

This pane lets you customize your HighDesign work environment.

_

This panel includes the following options:  

  • Switch the interface theme between dark, light and by system.
  • Activate the full size crosshair cursor.
  • Play sounds during drawing sessions.
  • Choose not to display help messages.
  • Use a classic contextual menu instead of the radial menu.
  • Set the zoom speed when using the scroll wheel and invert the scroll wheel direction.
  • Enable auto-scrolling on the main window. When this option is on, the drawing scrolls automatically when, during a construction or editing operation, the cursor is inside the main canvas near the margins of the main drawing area.
  • Use the arrow keys to scroll the page and Shift-Arrow for nudging objects.
  • Specify the amount of scrolled space used by the Nudge command.
  • Refresh view during scrolling: when this option is not selected the speed of panning and scrolling can improve with large and complex projects.
  • Set the position of the View controls: choose to show the controls in the main toolbar or grouped in a dock on the margins of the drawing area.
  • Update default settings for a tool when editing a selected object. E.g. editing the text font of a selected dimension will set the new font as default for all new dimensions. 
  • Set the default behavior of clicks with the Arrow tool. When this option is active, clicking an object selects it and deselects any previously selected object; when inactive, clicking an object adds it to the current selection.
