Project Properties represent the foundational metadata and global configuration for a project. Adjusting these values can affect how Layouts are displayed, how exported files are named, or how localized data is referenced.
These will be displayed in the Property Editor when the project is selected at the root of the Project Tree.
Name #
The Name field defines the display name used to identify the project within the editor and in export outputs.
- It is not the same as the project’s file name.
- It can be referenced in export filename patterns to automatically label generated files.
- Changing the Name does not rename the actual project file on disk.
File Name #
The File Name field shows where the project file is stored on disk, including its full directory path.
It cannot be edited directly from within the project.
Base Units #
The Base Units setting defines the measurement system used for all numeric values (such as Width, Height, X, and Y) in the Layout Editor or Export Options.
Options:
- Pixels
- Inches
- Centimeters
Changing the base units affects how all dimensions are interpreted and displayed throughout the editor.
NOTE: When using Inches or Centimeters, the editor will show approximate pixel equivalents for easier visualization on screen, while ensuring that exported output dimensions remain accurate to physical size.
Languages #
The Languages list establishes which language codes are recognized by the project and can be referenced in Data Sources for localized text.
Adding or removing entries affects the available language options across all connected data.
- When removing Languages, be sure to update any Data Sources that used them.
Default Language
The Default Language setting automatically applies to newly created Data Sources.
This list will be populated with all languages set in the Languages list.
