You can set up default settings for Sonnet in the Preferences dialog box which are used whenever you open a new layout. The Preferences dialog box is opened when you select Sonnet ⇒ Preferences from the main menu in the layout window. The Preferences dialog box has multiple tabs, each covering part of the Sonnet settings. For an explanation of each tab and its controls click on the appropriate link below.
Note that for some tab illustrations, the picture differs from what you will see on the display. Unselected options, which are “grayed out” in the software, have been converted to black typeface to provide clarity for the documentation.
