Preferences Editor/pt-br

Introdução
To start the Preferences editor select the option from the menu. On macOS the option appears in the  menu instead (this is the default place for preferences on the Mac).

FreeCAD uses a workbench concept, where each workbench is responsible for specific tasks and functions. A workbench can have its own preferences. These will only appear in the Preferences editor, usually in a dedicated section, if the workbench has been loaded in the current FreeCAD session. Some workbenches add support for specific import and export formats. If there are any related preferences they will appear on one or more additional tabs in the Import-Export section of the Preferences editor.

To preserve resources, FreeCAD does not automatically load all available workbenches. See Workbenches for more information. For a list of workbench related preferences see Workbench related preferences.

If no workbench is loaded, six sections appear in the Preferences editor: General, Display, Workbenches, Python, Addon Manager and Import-Export. Any workbenches that have been loaded, and have their own preferences, will appear below these.

Please note that pressing the button in the lower left corner of the Preferences dialog will reset all FreeCAD preferences to their default values.

Some advanced preferences can only be changed in the Parameter editor. The Fine-tuning page lists some of them.
