This page holds different settings and parameters that you can use to fin-tune your FreeCAD installation or overcome problems.
Option parameters
The FreeCAD preferences system found under menu Edit -> Preferences is commonly used to set and manipulates the FreeCAD parameters table. However, it is also possible to access, modify and create parameters manually, using the parameters editor found under menu Tools -> Edit parameters. The list below shows parameters that are not accessible via the preferences editor, but that you can set manually:
- Mod/PartDesign/SwitchToTask (boolean): Set to False to prevent the PartDesign workbench to switch to the Task panel when starting
- Document/SaveThumbnailFix (boolean): Set to True to fix a problem with Qt5 that prevents the generation of .FCStd file thumbnails
- TechDraw has several hidden switches documented in TechDraw_Preferences#Hidden_Settings
