Preferences

SettingEffect
Autosave on every calculationSaves the project before each solve (a never-saved project asks for a destination once).
Carry previous row elevation into new node rowsNew node rows start at the elevation above them — most rows on a floor share it. On by default.
Show the Nodes wired-up indicatorThe chip strip above the segments table (chapter 5).
Default outgoing flow valuePre-fills the gpm field when a node's outgoing-flow toggle is switched on.

PDF export

Export all calculation areas as a single PDF — off by default (one PDF per area; chapter 9).

Pipe tables

The read-only storage location (C:\CaidentCalc\PipeTableData\) plus the default pipe table, material, and diameter — what new projects and new pipe rows start with.

PDF cover-sheet profiles

Company identities for report covers. Each profile: a nickname, company name, address, logo (PNG/JPG), and optional typical sprinkler make and temp rating — the typicals pre-fill each calculation area's cover-sheet fields whenever they're blank. Add as many profiles as you have branches or brands; pick one per export in the cover-sheet editor.
