User
This panel lets you choose user preferences, specific to your workstation, that govern such
things as UI behaviors and appearance, auto save settings, editing and color defaults, control
panel action, and keyboard shortcut mappings.
TIP: Many of the settings in the User panel used to be found in the Project Settings
window prior to version 14, but they were moved here to accommodate collaborative
workflows with each user having their own independent general, editing, and color
settings, as well as their own keyboard shortcuts.
Saving User Preference Presets
It’s possible to save multiple presets for instant recall of different User Preference settings,
using the Option menu in the UI Settings window.
