QCad User Reference Manual
|  |  | # 18 Application Preferences The general preferences dialog is used to change application options. There are options that apply to the whole QCad application rather than just a single drawing. Edit - General Preferences ## Appearance ### Language The first language option changes the language of the QCad GUI (menus, dialogs, ..). The second option changes the translation used for the commands that are entered in the command line. It is possible to e.g. use German menus and enter the English commands (Figure 68). Figure 68: General Preferences for QCad. ### Graphic View Check "Show large crosshairs" to enable the crosshairs of the mouse cursor to extend to the drawing borders. Sometimes it's useful to limit the number of preview entities. If you experience performance problems when moving or inserting entities in a drawing, please reduce the number of preview entities shown. You can set the value to 0 to disable the preview. ## Paths On the "Paths" tab, you can configure individual paths where QCad will search for translations files, hatch patterns, fonts, scripts, and part libraries (Figure 68b). You can enter multiple paths by separating them with a semicolon (;). Figure 69: Configuration of individual paths.
