Setup

 

Albion CAD system setup parameters can be specified/edited  with a the CAD Configuration box, accessible via Edit > Preferences. Specific  'input templates'  (viz. for Plugins, Keyboard, Files & Paths, etc.) can be selected  in the CAD Configuration box (as shown below), where following can be set:

 

Plugins

The core functionality of the CAD can be extended via plugins. Generally, the only reason why you may not want to have all available plugins loaded is in order to save memory, although this saving is usually trivial.
