Options

Grid On By Default: When opening the Drawing view, the grid displays automatically.

Brush Size Cursor: When this option is enabled, the brush tool displays the brush size as a circle around the cursor.

Synchronize Eraser and Brush: When enabled, changing any of the Brush tool's properties simultaneously changes the corresponding property for the Eraser tool to the same setting, and vice versa. Likewise, selecting a preset for one tool will apply this preset's properties for the other tool.

Auto Gap Closing in Pixel Units: Disabling this option will cause your gap to be zoom dependent. Zoom dependent means that the more you zoom in, the smaller the gap you can close with the Close Gap tools. By enabling this option, you choose to make the gap display available in pixel units, which is not zoom dependent.

Auto Gap Closing on Startup: The values for automatic gap closing while painting drawings are: 0 = Disabled, 1=Small, 2=Medium, 3=Big.
