Overview of Preferences

Preferences are defined values that you can set which become default values when Prizm® Viewer is opened.

To access your preferences, select the Preferences tool on the Prizm Viewer Toolbar contained in the Rebar or select Preferences on the Right-Click Context Menu. This opens up a dialog box where you can modify your settings.

The Preferences dialog box contains windows which display the specific options that you can select for the application viewer, file associations, mouse actions, annotations, images and licensing. Click on the links below to see detailed functionality descriptions:
