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 if the workbench has been loaded in the current FreeCAD session. See [[#Workbenches|Workbenches]] below for more information.
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|Import-Export]] section of the Preferences editor.


To preserve resources, FreeCAD does not automatically load all available workbenches. See [[#Workbenches|Workbenches]] for more information. For a list of workbench related preferences see [[#Workbench_related_preferences|Workbench related preferences]].
If no workbench is loaded, four sections appear in the Preferences editor: [[#General_settings|General]], [[#Display_settings|Display]], [[#Workbenches|Workbenches]], and [[#Import-Export_settings|Import-Export]]. Any workbenches that have been loaded, and have their own preferences, will appear below these.


If no workbench is loaded, six sections appear in the Preferences editor: [[#General|General]], [[#Display|Display]], [[#Workbenches|Workbenches]], [[#Python|Python]], [[#Addon_Manager|Addon Manager]] and [[#Import-Export|Import-Export]]. Any workbenches that have been loaded, and have their own preferences, will appear below these.
Please note that pressing the {{Button|Reset}} button in the lower left corner of the Preferences dialog will reset '''all''' FreeCAD preferences to their default values.

Pressing the {{Button|Reset}} button in the lower left corner of the Preferences dialog opens a menu ({{Version|0.22}}) with options to reset preferences to their default values. You can reset the current tab, the current group, or all preferences. In {{VersionMinus|0.21}} the button will reset '''all''' preferences.


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

Introdução

To start the Preferences editor select the Edit → Preferences... option from the menu. On macOS the Preferences... option appears in the FreeCAD 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.

Pressing the Reset button in the lower left corner of the Preferences dialog opens a menu (introduced in version 0.22) with options to reset preferences to their default values. You can reset the current tab, the current group, or all preferences. In version 0.21 and below the button will reset all preferences.

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

General

This preferences section has seven tabs: General, Document, Selection, Cache, Notification Area, Report view and Help.

In version 0.21 and below the seventh tab, Help, is only available if the Help Addon has been installed.

Geral

On the General tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Alterar idioma Selection of the language of the FreeCAD user interface
Tamanho da lista de arquivos recentes Specification how many files should be listed in the recent files list
Ativar fundo em mosaico If checked, the background of FreeCAD's main window will by default consist of tiles of this image

Optionally, imported files can be excluded from this list, and exported files can be included. See Fine-tuning.

Enable tiled background If checked, the background of FreeCAD's main window will by default consist of tiles of this image:

This option only has an effect if no Style sheet is selected.

The image can be changed by adding the folders Gui/Images in the folder:

%APPDATA%/FreeCAD (on Windows),

$HOME/.FreeCAD (on Linux) or

$HOME/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD (on macOS).

Place a file named background.png in the Images folder, and uncheck/check this option to see the changed file.

Folha de estilo Selection of a style sheet. Folha de estilos define how the user interface of FreeCAD looks. For technical details about the style sheets, see themes.
Tamanho dos ícones da barra de ferramentas Selection of the size for the toolbar icons
Modo de visualização em árvore Customization how the tree view is shown in the panel (restart required). The options are
  • Combo View combine tree view and property view into one panel.
  • TreeView and PropertyView split tree view and property view into separate panel.
  • Both keep all three panels, and you can have two sets of tree view and property view.
Auto-carregar módulo ao iniciar Selection what workbench will be used directly after starting FreeCAD
Mostrar a tela de splash ao iniciar If checked, a splash screen is shown when starting FreeCAD.

The splash screen image can be changed by placing a file named splash_image.png in the Images folder already mentioned under Ativar fundo em mosaico.

Permitir quebra de linha Words will be wrapped when they exceed the available horizontal space in the Python console. This console is shown using the menu View → Panels → Python console.

Documento

On the Document tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Criar um novo documento ao iniciar If checked, FreeCAD will create a new document when started
Document save compression level Specification of the compression level for FCStd files. FCStd files are ZIP-compressed files. Therefore you can rename their suffix .FCStd to .zip and open them with a ZIP archive program.
Usar Desfazer/Refazer em documentos If checked, all changes in documents are stored so that they can be undone/redone
Número máximo de operações Desfazer/Refazer Specification how many Undo/Redo steps should be recorded
Permitir abortação de recálculo If checked, recomputations can be aborted by pressing Esc. This may slightly increase the recomputation time.
Executar Auto Recuperação ao iniciar If there is a recovery file available FreeCAD will automatically run a file recovery when it is started. This way files can be restored if a crash occurred.
Salvar informações de Auto Recuperação a cada Specification how often a recovery file is written.
Salvar miniatura no arquivo quando salvar um documento If checked, a thumbnail will be stored when the document is saved. The thumbnail will for example be shown in the list of recent files in the Start workbench. It is possible to select a Size between 128×128 and 512×512 pixels for the thumbnail. Common sizes are the powers of two 128, 256, 512.
Adicionar o logotipo do programa à miniatura gerada If checked, the FreeCAD program logo will be added to the thumbnail.
Número máximo de arquivos de backup a manter quando salvar novamente o documento If checked, backup files will be kept when saving the document. You can specify the number of backup files to keep. Backup files are previously saved versions of the document. The first backup file will have the file suffix .FCStd1, the second .FCStd2 and so on.
Usar a data e a extensão FCBak If checked, backup files will get the extension .FCbak and their file names get a date suffix according to the specified date format. For a description of the date format see [https//devhints.io/datetime this site].

With the default settings a backup file will for example get this name TD-Cube.20200315-215654.FCBak (original filename is TD-Cube.FCStd).

Permitir rótulos de objetos duplicados em um documento If checked, objects can have the same label.
Desativar carregamento parcial de objetos externos vinculados If partial loading of external linked objects is enabled, only the referenced objects and their dependencies will be loaded when the linked document is auto opened together with the main document. Such a partially loaded document cannot be edited. Double click the document icon in the tree view to reload it in full. A more detailed explanation of this feature can be found on the [https//github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/wiki/Core-Changes#partial-document-loading Assembly3 documentation page]
Nome do autor All created documents will get the specified author name. Keep the author field blank if you do not want to include this information. If the option Salvar is checked, the field Last modified by will be set to the specified author when saving the file. This field can be viewed using the File → Project information menu option.
Empresa All created documents will get the specified company name
Licença padrão Selection of the license for new documents. For predefined licenses the URL da licença will automatically be set accordingly. Select Other for a custom license.
URL da licença Specification of an URL describing the license selected in Licença padrão

Seleção

On the Selection tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Ir automaticamente para a vista 3D que contém o item selecionado Enables the Tree view SyncView mode
Expande automaticamente o item na árvore quando o objeto correspondente for selecionado na vista 3D Enables the Tree view SyncSelection mode
Pré-selecionar o objeto na vista 3D quando o mouse passa sobre o item na árvore Enables the Tree view PreSelection mode
Lembrar a seleção na árvore para voltar/avançar usando os botões de navegação Enables the Tree view RecordSelection mode
Adicionar caixas de seleção para seleção na árvore do documento Each document tree item will get a checkbox. This is for example useful for selecting multiple items on a touchscreen.

Cache

These preferences are related to the cache directory where FreeCAD stores temporary files.

On the Cache tab (introduced in version 0.20) you can specify the following:

Name Description
Location Specifies the path of the cache directory.
Check periodically at program start Controls the frequency with which the directory size is checked. The options are:
  • Always

Display

This preferences section has three standard tabs: 3D View, Navigation and Colors. A fourth tab, Mesh view, is added if the Mesh Workbench has been loaded.

Vista 3D

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

Name Description
Show coordinate system in the corner If checked, the main coordinate system will be shown in the lower right corner of the 3D view.

The Relative size (introduced in version 0.20) defines the size of the representation as a percentage of the view size (the minimum of its height and width).

Show axis cross by default If checked, the axis cross will be shown by default in the 3D view.
Show counter of frames per second If checked, the time needed for the last operation and the resulting frame rate will be shown in the lower left corner of the 3D view.
Use software OpenGL If checked, OpenGL will use the CPU instead of the GPU. This option is useful for troubleshooting graphics card and driver problems. Changing this option requires a restart of the application.
Use OpenGL VBO (Vertex Buffer Object) If checked, Vertex Buffer Objects (VBO) will be used. A VBO is an OpenGL feature that provides methods for uploading vertex data (position, normal vector, color, etc.) to the graphics card. VBOs offer substantial performance gains because the data resides in the graphics memory rather than the system memory and so it can be rendered directly by the GPU. For more background info see Understanding OpenGL Objects.
Render Cache "Render Cache" or "Render Acceleration" is explained in more detail in FreeCAD assembly3 render-caching. The options are:
  • Auto: Let Coin3D decide where to cache (default).
  • Distributed: Manually turn on cache for all view provider root nodes.
  • Centralized: Manually turn off cache in all nodes of all view providers, and only cache at the scene graph root node. This offers the fastest rendering speed, but slower response to any scene changes.
Anti-Aliasing Specifies if and what type of multisample anti-aliasing is used
Transparent objects Specifies the render type of transparent objects. The options are:
  • One pass: Rendering is done in one pass (default). This can lead to triangular artifacts. If these occur the type Backface pass can be used to avoid them.
  • Backface pass: Rendering is done in two passes. Back-facing polygons are rendered in the first pass and front-facing polygons in the second pass.
Marker size Specifies the size of vertices (points) in the Sketcher Workbench. The clickable area of points can be additionally enlarged by increasing the Pick radius.
Pick radius (px) Sets the area for picking elements in the 3D view. Larger value makes it easier to pick things, but can make some small features impossible to select.
Eye to eye distance for stereo modes Specifies the eye-to-eye distance used for stereo projections. The specified value is a factor that will be multiplied with the bounding box size of the 3D object that is currently displayed.
Backlight color If checked, backlight is enabled with the defined color. Backlight is used for rendering the back sides of faces. Usually, you don't see them in solids, unless you slice one with a clipping plane, or if the faces aren't oriented correctly. It is only used for objects whose Lighting property (on the View tab) is set to One side. If disabled, the back side of the faces of those objects will be black.

The related Intensity setting specifies the intensity of the backlight.

Camera type Specifies the camera projection type. The options are:

Navegação

On the Navigation tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Navigation cube If checked, the Navigation cube will be shown in the 3D view.

Steps by turn defines the number of steps required for a full rotation when using the Navigation cube rotation arrows.

If Rotate to nearest is checked, the 3D view is rotated to the nearest most logical position, based on the current orientation of the cube, when a cube face is clicked. Else clicking a face will always result in the same rotation. introduced in version 0.20

Cube size defines the size of the cube. introduced in version 0.20

Color sets the base color for all elements. introduced in version 0.21

Corner defines where the Navigation cube is displayed in the 3D view. The options are:

  • Top left
  • Top right
  • Bottom left
  • Bottom right

Font name specifies the font used for the cube's texts. introduced in version 0.21

Font size sets the size of the font used for the cube's texts. introduced in version 0.21

3D Navigation Specifies a mouse navigation style. To see the details of each style, select it and then press the Mouse... button.
Orbit style Specifies the rotation orbit style used when in rotation mode. The options are:
  • Turntable: Moving the mouse will divide the rotation in steps, rotations around the different axes are performed sequentially.
  • Trackball: Rotations around the different axes are performed simultaneously.
  • Free Turntable: Like Trackball, but if possible the rotation axis is kept collinear with the global 3D view axis. introduced in version 0.21
Rotation mode Defines the rotation center. The options are:
  • Window center
  • Drag at cursor
  • Object center
Default camera orientation Specifies the camera orientation for new documents. This setting is also used by the Std ViewHome command.
Camera zoom Affects the initial camera zoom level for new documents. The value you set is the diameter of a sphere that fits in 3D view. The default is 100 mm. It also sets the initial size of origin features (base planes in new PartDesign Bodies and Std Parts).
Enable animation If checked, and 3D Navigation is set to CAD, rotations can be animated. If the mouse is moved while the scroll wheel and the right mouse button are pressed, the view is rotated. If one keeps the mouse moving while releasing the right mouse button, the rotation will continue. To end this animation left-click with the mouse.
Zoom at cursor If checked, zoom operations will be performed at the position of the mouse pointer. Otherwise zoom operations will be performed at the center of the current view. The Zoom step defines how much will be zoomed. A zoom step of 1 means a factor of 7.5 for every zoom step.
Invert zoom If checked, the direction of zoom operations will be inverted.
Disable touchscreen tilt gesture If checked, and 3D Navigation is set to Gesture, the tilting gesture will be disabled for pinch-zooming (two-finger zooming).
Enable rotation center indication If checked, the rotation center of the view is shown when dragging. introduced in version 0.22

Cores

On the Colors tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Enable preselection highlighting If checked, preselection is turned on and the specified color will be used for it. Preselection means that for example edges of objects will be highlighted while hovering over them with the mouse to indicate they can be selected.
Enable selection highlighting If checked, selection highlighting is turned on and the specified color will be used for it.
Simple color If selected, the background of the 3D view will have the specified color.
Linear gradient If selected, the background of the 3D view will have a vertical color gradient defined by the specified Top and Bottom colors. if enabled, a Middle color can also be specified. Press the button (introduced in version 0.21) to switch the top and bottom colors.
Radial gradient introduced in version 0.21 If selected, the background of the 3D view will have a radial color gradient defined by the specified Central and End colors. if enabled, a Midway color can also be specified. Press the button to switch the central and end colors.
Object being edited Specifies the background color for objects in the tree view that are currently edited.
Active container Specifies the background color for active containers in the tree view. For example an active PartDesign Body will get this color.

Vista de malhas

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

On the Mesh view tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Default mesh color Specifies the default face color.
Default line color Specifies the default line color.
Mesh transparency Specifies the default mesh transparency.
Line transparency Specifies the default line transparency.
Two-side rendering If checked, the default value for the VistaLighting property is Two side instead of One side. Two side means the color of the interior side of faces is the same as the color of the exterior side. One side means their color is either the backlight color, if enabled, or black.
Show bounding-box for highlighted or selected meshes If checked, the default value for the VistaSelection Style property is BoundBox instead of Shape. BoundBox means a highlighted bounding box is displayed if meshes are highlighted or selected. Shape means the shape itself is then highlighted.
Define normal per vertex If checked, Phong shading is used, otherwise flat shading. Shading defines the appearance of surfaces. With flat shading the surface normals are not defined per vertex. This leads to an unrealistic appearance for curved surfaces. While Phong shading leads to a more realistic, smoother appearance.
Crease angle The crease angle is a threshold angle between two faces. It can only be set if the option Define normal per vertex is used.
If face angle ≥ crease angle, facet shading is used.
If face angle < crease angle, smooth shading is used.

Bancadas de trabalho

This preferences section has a single tab: Available Workbenches.
