Editing Preferences

Configure snapping and drawing defaults for the current project.

Open Settings → Canvas & drawing settings and choose the section you need. Editing settings are divided between snapping, appearance and defaults; there is no requirement to switch to an old Editing tab in the Settings hub.

1

Configure snapping

Open the snapping section, where available for your plan. Use the master snapping toggle and configure grid, angle, alignment and object snapping. A visible grid is not required for every type of snap. Use the canvas snap palette for quick changes while drawing.

2

Set annotation and tool defaults

Choose Annotations for dimension arrow and text position defaults and the default leader/callout frames. Choose Tool Defaults for default stroke width, fill color and font settings. A default is a starting value; do not assume it restyles every existing object.

3

Control automatic automations

Choose Automations. Enable automatic automations is the project master switch. An event-triggered automation runs automatically only when this switch and that automation’s own toggle are on. Turning off automatic execution does not remove the option to run an automation manually.

4

Keep organization separate

Use the layers and surface-class sections to manage visibility and class presentation. These controls affect what you see and can edit; they are separate from the current tool’s numeric inputs.
