Description

Document settings use conservative FreeCAD defaults that are insufficient for professional CAD workflows. Undo depth is too shallow, auto-recovery is too infrequent, and the Authoring/License section carries unprofessional FreeCAD defaults.

Default Changes

Setting Current Proposed Rationale
Max undo/redo steps 20 50 SOLIDWORKS defaults to 200; 20 is dangerously low for complex assemblies
Auto-recovery interval 15 min 5 min Professional work demands frequent saves; 15 min of lost work is unacceptable
Max backup files 1 3 Additional safety net at minimal disk cost
Default license All rights reserved (blank) Wikipedia URL looks unprofessional; should pull from Silo profile or stay empty
License URL Wikipedia link (blank) Same as above

Component: resources/preferences/
