Preferences Editor/es

Introducción
Para iniciar el Editor de preferencias seleccione la opción del menú. En Mac OS la opción aparece en el menú  (este es el lugar por defecto para las preferencias en Mac).

FreeCAD utiliza un concepto de ambiente de trabajo, donde cada ambiente de trabajo es responsable de tareas y funciones específicas. Un ambiente de trabajo puede tener sus propias preferencias. Estas sólo aparecerán en el editor de Preferencias si el ambiente de trabajo ha sido cargado en la sesión actual de FreeCAD. Ver Ambiente de trabajo más abajo para más información.

Si no hay ningún ambiente de trabajo cargado, aparecen cuatro secciones en el editor de Preferencias: General, Pantalla, Ambientes de trabajo, y Importación-Exportación. Cualquier ambiente de trabajo que haya sido cargado, y tenga sus propias preferencias, aparecerá debajo de estos.

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.

Configuración de la pantalla

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



Navegación
On the Navigation tab you can specify the following:



Colores
On the Colors tab you can specify the following:



Vista de malla
This tab is only available if the Mesh Workbench has been loaded.

On the Mesh view tab you can specify the following:



Ambientes de trabajo
This preferences section has a single tab: Unloaded Workbenches.

Ambiente de trabajo descarga
To preserve resources, FreeCAD does not automatically load all available workbenches. And only if a workbench has been loaded will its preferences, if any, appear in the Preferences editor.

In FreeCAD version 0.19 The Unloaded Workbenches tab displays a list of installed workbenches that have not yet been loaded. To load one or more workbenches select them in the list and then press the button.

In FreeCAD version 0.20 The Unloaded Workbenches tab displays a list of all installed workbenches. To load a workbench press its button. If you check a workbench's checkbox it will autoload when FreeCAD starts up. Loading more workbenches will make the startup slower, but switching between workbenches that have already been loaded is faster.

If a newly loaded workbench has dedicated preference they will appear in a new section in the Preferences editor. Some workbenches add support for additional import and export formats. If there are any related preferences they will appear on one or more new tabs in the Import-Export settings section of the Preferences editor.

For a list of workbench preferences see Workbench preferences



Configuración Importación-Exportación
The Import-Export settings affect how files are imported and exported. They are described on the Import Export Preferences page.

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.
