Here are groups of general settings to customize the look of the user interface and define how the program works. Here you can choose working language (language of interface), regional settings (codes, databases) and printout language. All of these are set independently, so you can work with one language (chosen from one of ten available) according to different regional codes and print documentation in another.

10 Also within Preferences, you can change look of every particular element of the desktop by using predefined templates or by creating your own. Before commencing structure definition, one should set the working language and codes to be applied in the project as shown in the picture below: Confirm the operation by pressing the Accept button, and then select from the main menu Tools / Job Preferences option. Set the codes and actions as shown below: Job Preferences are grouped in six categories: units, materials, databases, design codes, structure analysis and work parameters. Autodesk robot Structural Analysis Professional includes more than 60 sections and materials databases from around the world. With an array of 70 built-in design codes, structural engineers can work with country-specific section shapes, imperial or metric units, and country-specific building codes within the same integrated mode.
