Global options in FactoryLogix Office affect how users interact with FactoryLogix features and functions and control all aspects of the system. Global option settings combined with /wiki/spaces/FD/pages/79295657 allow different types of access to all areas of the system. Administrators access FactoryLogix global options in the Settings area of the FactoryLogix Office client application.

|
Only a member of the Administrator group can configure default values for global options. |
In the ECAD Management category, you configure the default global option settings for editing Gerber files, ECAD display behavior, and ECAD import options.
