The preferences for the Draft Workbench are found in the Preferences Editor, in the menu Menu Edit → Preferences → Draft.

There are four tabs: General settings, Grid and snapping, Visual settings, and Texts and dimensions.

General settings

General settings allows you to set certain basic properties like the default working plane, the name and color of the construction group, a prefix to use for the Draft Clones, and the internal precision of the calculations.

Grid and snapping

Visuals settings

In Visual settings you can specify the color of the Draft Snap symbols, the default width and color for new objects. By checking the "Save current color and linewidth across sessions" checkbox, any change you make on the draft command bar will be saved here, so you will start your next FreeCAD session with the color and width you were using on quit.

Texts and dimensions
