• Enable orthogonal drawing tips

• Enable Confirm Before Clearing Results

• Enable highlighting for required fields in the Properties windows, and choose the highlight color

User Option Defaults

There are five buttons at the bottom of the User Options window. Fathom has built-in default parameters, units and settings which you can choose by clicking the Reset to Fathom Defaults button. You can also develop your own settings, tailored to your project or industry, and have these used by default (instead of Fathom’s defaults). To make your own default, first select the parameters, units and settings you would like to use then click the Save As New User Defaults button. Your settings will be saved and will be used each time any new project is initiated. If you make changes to the settings, and want to get back to your defaults, click the Load User Defaults button. The default settings are updated only when you click Set As New User Defaults.

If you have made changes which you don’t want to keep, click the Cancel button. Click Save and Close to use the settings you have defined.
