The 'Project Panel Defaults' Project Settings window provides the options to adjust certain default values that will be used when a new Panel is created. Based on how a client/studio expects information to be exported and sizing of assets it may be desirable to adjust these settings.
This settings window can be accessed via the 'Project->Project Settings->Panel Defaults...' main menu item when a Project is open in PanelForge.
Any changes made to settings in this window are only applied to new Panels and not existing Panels in the current Project.
It is highly advisable to adjust the values in this window during Project creation. This window can also be accessed via the corresponding button in the New Project window.
