You can customize behaviors such as displaying opelists in a menu, mouse navigation, and selecting a specific text editor.

Some options fix display problems.

You don't need to repeat the steps each time you start GO2cam; it remembers your latest configuration.

In English installation, tools and strategies use millimeters by default. To switch to inches, go to the workshop and select Software Configuration.

  • To work in inches with Imperial display, click the Units option, then select Imperial from the Unit System drop-down list.

  • Software configurations save in .ini files and can be loaded by clicking the drop-down list.

Themes of the user interface

A theme includes:

  • Background colors, with optional shading,

  • Menu and toolbar colors,

  • Colors of highlighted and selected commands,

  • Menu text colors,

  • Colors of miscellaneous elements like profiles, unbounded elements, and selection.

Themes also include display options:

  • Tree display with transparency,

  • Tree display on the left or right of the screen,

  • Size of the interactive axis system.

A theme can be saved with user choices by clicking the icon. This theme is added to the list of themes. Each software (GO2cam, GO2operator, GO2designer) has its own theme. We also offer two themes for part layouts, with white and black backgrounds. You can select the ‘Default theme’ to reset options to original values.

Two option pages configure a theme: User Interface and Interface Colors shown on the right.

Colors are chosen for each element by clicking the corresponding color icon.

Be careful choosing some colors: for example, white axes won't be visible on light backgrounds!
