Complete settings reference
Settings are divided into App preferences and This project settings. App preferences affect the workspace and stay on this device; project settings travel in .eido. Do not confuse “Canvas & zoom (default)” with the current project's “Canvas & zoom.”
App › General
- Include agent chats adds project sessions to saved
.eido; off by default. Review prompts and attachments before sharing. - Click opens properties controls whether a canvas click opens the popover. When off, click selects only; right-click and Objects still open it.
- Reset all preferences resets appearance, export, Agent, server, and new-project canvas defaults. It does not change open projects' geometry or own canvas settings.
App › Appearance
- Color theme: dark, light, or system.
- Language: system or a supported UI locale. Eidolang keywords are never translated.
- Font size: S/M/L/XL (about 85%–130%) for header, tools, panels, and dialogs only—not canvas or export size.
App › Canvas & zoom (default)
Copied once when a new project is created:
- 2D min/max scale and target grid spacing in pixels;
- 3D min/max camera distance and grid density;
- auto-dock while dragging.
Changing defaults never modifies an existing project. Use the This project page for that.
App › MCP / REST server
Native external-interface settings in the Windows app:
- server on/off and port (default
14159); - loopback-only or same-LAN clients;
- MCP address and copied Trae/WorkBuddy config;
- independent allow-list for each tool;
- up to 200 recent external calls.
LAN mode has no authentication and must be used only on a trusted network. Figure exposure is controlled separately by the dot in Figures. See Agent integration.
App › Account
Email-code sign-in, Free/Pro state, today's allowances, refresh, sign-out, and platform store purchase. See Account, free limits, and Pro.
App › Agent
- show/hide the in-app Agent tab;
- save several models and choose the active one;
- providers: OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, Google Gemini/Vertex;
- name, Base URL, API key, and model ID per model;
- fetch model IDs from the endpoint or enter one manually.
Windows and Android store API keys in protected system credential storage; non-sensitive model metadata remains in preferences. Deleting a model also deletes its key.
App › Export defaults
- PNG/GIF scale: 1×, 2×, or 4×;
- default transparent background for 2D SVG/PNG;
- GIF frame rate: 5–50 fps.
These seed the export dialog and can be overridden per export. GIF duration always comes from the script timeline. Coordinate-grid inclusion also has a saved default and remains adjustable.
This project › Canvas & zoom
The same 2D/3D limits, grid values, and auto-dock, but owned by this project and written to the .eido manifest:
- 2D limits and auto-dock apply immediately;
- 3D distance limits apply after reopening/switching the figure;
- Reset this project copies current App defaults without affecting other projects.
