1. Restore Defaults

When chosen, the values and presets for the constrain angle and keyboard increment sections are changed to their defaults (settings for guides and grids are not affected). For the constrain angle, this is an angle of 0° and presets of 150°, 90°, and 30°. For the keyboard increment, the default values depend on the measurement system in use:

• Points/pixels: 1 pt/px; presets of 1 pt/px, 6 pt/px, and 12 pt/px.

• Millimeters/centimeters: 1 mm; presets of 1 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm.

• Inches: 0.0625 in; presets of 0.0625 in, 0.125 in, and 0.25 in.

2. Auto Open Astute Graphics Panels

When enabled (preceded by a checkmark), selecting an Astute Graphics tool that has an associated panel will automatically open its panel (if it is not open already). For example, clicking on the MirrorMe tool in the toolbox will automatically open the MirrorMe panel.

3. Use Dark Graph Backgrounds

When enabled (preceded by a checkmark), graphs on Astute Graphics dialogs (such as Stipplism) or panels (such as Dynamic Sketch, or Width Gradient) will have dark backgrounds when used with the dark mode UI:
