File | Options

Click the File | Options command to change the program options, such as ruler display or if back up files are created. The File | Options command also controls default line, fill, symbol, font, or digitize format properties. These properties are shared by all objects that use the specific format. For example, if you change the line color, all new axes, line/scatter plots, drawn polygons, lines, etc. will have the new line color. Use the File | Defaults command to change the default properties for basic objects, maps, and legends.
