The Preferences window is accessed from the Preferences button in the lower left corner of the main Project Explorer window.
Preferences determine any aspect of the Project Explorer user interface which is not relevant to the generation of reports. For example, color schemes and default scale settings for profile and section views, font settings for the user interface, and the visibility and pane layout of each individual Object Category tab in the Project Explorer window.
User Interface Preferences may be saved to Saved Preferences files (.xmpp), allowing your preferred window settings to be restored at any time or shared with colleagues.
The Preferences currently assigned to the main Project Explorer window can be reset to the default settings at any time by clicking the Restore Defaults button in the bottom left corner of the Preferences window.
