[Margins]Distances between view edges and drawing borders, rotation and scale factor
MarginLeft=20Minimum margin in mm to the left of the most left view to the drawing border
MarginRight=40Minimum margin in mm to the right of the most right view to the drawing border
MarginTop=60Minimum margin in mm over the uppermost view to the drawing border
MarginBottom=60Minimum margin in mm under the lowest view to the drawing border
Gap=30Minimum gap in mm between views
MainViewFactor=2Factor for calculating view scale for cut-length items (profiles, beams, yard goods). Scale of main view is calculated using MainViewFactor times profile width, not the profile length
ViewRotateFactor=3Factor used for rotation of view. Rotate view if profile width is ViewRotateFactor times larger than profile height
[SheetMetal]Sheet metal settings
DefaultView=1If set to 1, the default view rotation will be used. Else it will be rotated to fit the paper.
Default: 0
FlatPatternLeft=1If set to 1, the flat pattern view is placed on the left side of the drawing. Else on the right side of the drawing.
