This dialog window is used to configurate settings that are common
to many SoftMold functions. There two items that are handled by
this dialog at this time. More items will be added in the future as needed.
1) Turning the Tool Tips On or Off.
The default setting has the tool tips turned on. If you are a new user I suggest you leave
the Tool Tips turn on until you know your way around Softmold. When the Tool Tips are no
longer helpfull to you can turn them off by unchecking the Tool Tip Ckeck box.
2) Setting up the preview window.
New to Version 5.5 is the 3D preview window. This window gives you a real time preview of
the mold component be for you create it. You can rotate the component, zoom in or zoom out
and pan the preview window. This dialog allows you setup the colors and default rendering
mode. For more information about using the preview window
see this link
Getting back to what you can do here. To can set the color of the mold component along with
the background color and the rendering mode.
