Grid:

Align To Grid: If checked each new object placed in the View 2D will be aligned to the grid.

Show: If checked the grid will be displayed in the View 2D.

X, Y: These two values define the grid size.

Change Default View Area: If checked, you can select at which position the view is located after loading a job or starting SAMLight.

Min, X, Y: Defines the lower left corner of the default view.

Max, X, Y: Defines the upper right corner of the default view.

Get Current View: Automatically enters the correct values for the default view to be changed to the current view.

Keep Dialog Position:

Mark Dialog: If checked, the position of the mark dialog is remembered permanently (also after restarting SAMLight).

Mark Trigger Dialog: If checked, the position of the mark trigger dialog is remembered permanently (also after restarting SAMLight).

Misc:

Background color: Clicking on this button opens a color dialog, where the background color of the View 2D can be defined (also possible in ViewProperties).

Toolbars: Clicking on this button opens a dialog where the user can choose which of the available toolbars is shown. See chapter Toolbars.

Hide Unused Entity Property Pages: Hides the tabs of Entity Property pages which are currently not in use.

Automatic Redock Toolbars on Rescale: All toolbars will be re-docked if the SAMLight window gets rescaled.

Duplicate Offset:

X, Y: These two values define the copy offset in x and y direction. For  example, select an object in the View 2D and click Menu bar → Edit → Copy. This creates a copy of the selected object which is placed next to the original translated by the copy offset. If the copy offset is zero in both directions the created copy will cover the original.

Nudge Step:

X, Y: These two values define the nudge step in x and y direction. The nudge step is used for the operations nudge left, right, up and down described in chapter Edit. Nudge can also be used with hotkeys while using the red pointer (see figure 48).

Scale Factor: This value is taken for the scaling of the job with hotkeys while using the red pointer in the mark dialog (see figure 48).
