Preferences Editor/es

Introducción
Las preferencias del sistema de FreeCAD se encuentra en el. En el Mac OS el La opción de menú aparece en el menú de FreeCAD en lugar del menú de edición (es el lugar predeterminado para las preferencias en el Mac).

La funcionalidad de FreeCAD está dividida en diferentes módulos, cada módulo se hace cargo del funcionamiento de un determinado Entorno de trabajo. FreeCAD también utiliza un concepto llamado carga tardía, lo que significa que los componentes se cargan sólo cuando se necesitan. Habrás notado que, cuando se selecciona un entorno de trabajo en la barra de herramientas de FreeCAD, tanto el entorno como todos sus componentes se cargan en ese momento. Esto incluye la configuración de tus preferencias.

Sin ningún módulo cargado, tendrás acceso a dos secciones de configuración, las correspondientes a la configuración general de la aplicación y a la configuración de la visualización en pantalla.

Clicking the button in the lower left corner of any preferences display will set all of the FreeCAD preferences to their default values.

for more fine-tuned control of preferences see Parameter editor and Fine-tuning

Establecimiento general
Cuando se inicia FreeCAD sin un entorno de trabajo cargado, la ventana de preferencias mostrará un contenido mínimo. A medida que se cargan módulos adicionales, en la ventana de preferencias aparecerán nuevas secciones, lo que permite configurar los detalles de cada entorno de trabajo.

La configuración de pantalla
This preferences section has two general tabs, 3D View and Colors, and further tabs depending in the used workbenches.

Vista 3D
This tab is always available, and controls certain characteristics of the 3D view.

In the 3D View tab you can specify the following:



Navegación
This tab is always available, and controls the behavior of the navigation tools.

In the Navigation tab you can specify the following:

Vista de malla
This tab is only shown if you are in the Mesh Workbench or if you have been in this workbench before.

In the Mesh view tab you can specify the following:



Workbenches
To conserve resources, FreeCAD does not automatically load all available workbenches. This means that a workbench's preferences will not be available until it is loaded, either by using it, or by using the Workbench preferences tab.

The Workbench preferences tab displays a list of all installed workbenches that have not been loaded yet. To load a workbench and view and modify its preferences, select workbench(es) from the list and click the button. The workbench will be loaded, and if it provides any preferences they will be added to the appropriate section in the preferences editor. Any additional file formats that workbench supports will be added to the Import-Export settings section of the preferences editor. Note that not all workbenches provide additional preferences.

For a list of known workbench preferences documentation see section Workbench preferences



Configuración de importación y exportación
The Import-Export settings affect how files are imported and exported to and from FreeCAD. They are described in the page Import Export Preferences.

Preferencias de l'ambiente de trabajo
Preferences for the more common workbenches are linked below. Some workbenches have no preferences. Other optional workbenches may not be listed. These links are also listed in Category:Preferences

Scripting
Preferences can be accessed from Python scripts using their corresponding path in the Parameter Editor. For example, the preference appears in  and has type. It can therefore be accessed in Python using the following code:

Finding which parameter is used to store which option from the Preferences Editor can require searching a bit, but the Parameter Editor offers a search facility, which should help.

It is likely a bad idea to modify the preferences of other parts of FreeCAD unless doing so at the user's request. The setter can however be used to set parameters for your own workbench, and the getter can be used to obey existing parameters (e.g. to use colors from the current theme).
