Application & Project Preferences

MADE contains two types of preference dialogs: Application Preferences & Project Preferences.

• Application preferences contain settings which are applied globally in MADE (regardless of the MADE project opened).
• Project preferences contain settings which are project-specific. Changes applied to settings in project preferences are retained by the currently opened MADE project only. Note: Preferences can only be accessed when a MADE project is open.

Preferences are accessed from the main menu under 'Preferences'.
