Note: The steps hereinafter relate to additional software settings (Setup Completion Wizard). All settings can also be defined directly from within the software. After installation has been completed, run the software and from the main menu, go to File → Configuration. You may then change the configurations in the window.
If you wish to change configurations to apply on all of your new projects, and/or change the ACAD environment, you should do it in the Prototype project. For this, first open the Prototype project (File → Open Prototype) and then continue with the instructions above.
Please note that some of the settings are not available in the configuration window but have to be changed from within their corresponding Options window.
