Preferences - User Preferences

The User Preferences tab contains a number of settings that are primarily of interest to users familiar
with AutoCAD. The default settings for these values are generally the most beneficial.
Windows Standard Behavior - Enables you to select whether to use the standard Windows accelerator
●
keys (example, CTRL-C performs a copy operation, CTRL-V performs a paste operation) or the right-
click popup menu. Some users who are very familiar with CAD programs such as AutoCAD prefer
to map the right mouse button to perform a carriage return operation. In Summit WMScanner, a
carriage return will repeat the last command performed, which is a standard CAD program
behavior. By mapping the right mouse button to the carriage return operation, you may activate the
previous command by simply right-clicking with your mouse.
When prompted to select a point by Summit WMScanner, you may type an exact coordinate in the
●
command prompt area (e.g., by typing "0.1,2.3,5.2" you are referring to the point within the drawing
at x-coordinate 0.1, y-coordinate 2.3, and z-coordinate 5.2). If Object Snap is active, however,
coordinates you enter on the keyboard may "snap" to a different location. For example, if Object
Snap is set to snap to entity end points, and you type a coordinate on the keyboard, if the coordinate
is near the end point of a drawing entity, the actual coordinate the software will use is that of the
end point of the drawing entity since Object Snap is active. To disable this, select the "Keyboard
entry" option in the Priority for Coordinate Data Entry window.
Object Sorting Methods - Enables you to customize the order in which operations are performed on
●
drawing entities. If any of the check boxes are set, the corresponding operation is performed on
drawing entities by the order in which they were created. If not set, the corresponding operation is
performed on drawing entities randomly. For example, if the Redraw check box is set, and you select
the View > Refresh Screen command from the main program menu, drawing entities are redrawn on
the screen in the order in which they were created (example, the first drawing entity is redrawn
first). Otherwise, the entities will be redrawn randomly. Generally, you should notice no change in
