There are number of settings that are available to customise the way in which the sketching part of the app works.
All Occupancies
This setting controls whether a sketch applies to all occupancies or to the current occupancy being edited.
If Sketching for multiple occupancies is not allowed in your instance then this setting is set to “Always” and cannot be changed.
If this setting is set to “OFF” then pressing the sketch button will create/edit a sketch for the occupancy that is currently being edited.
Measurement System
There are 2 measurement systems available Metric & Imperial.
The default measurement system is Metric.
Default Label Size
The default label size allow you to control the size of the labels when a room is created.
Default Free Text Size
The default free text size allow you to control the size of the labels when free text created.
Auto Name new Room
Setting this parameter to "ON" will cause the "Area Attributes" screen to be displayed whenever a room is completed.
Auto Number New Rooms
If this setting is set to "ON" a number will be appended to the new room name if a room of that type already exists.

Preferred Map Supplier
This setting is no longer used.
Disto Type
The app supports interfacing to various Lieca Disto laser measuring devices.
Leica D3/D8 are legacy devices and require a Bluetooth bridge that are no longer available.
Leica D510 / D110 (Sketch) are devices that directly interface without having to pair with the iPad.
Leica D510 / D810 (Kbd) uses the devices in “Keyboard mode” (this is a setting on the Bluetooth device itself).
Leica D810 (Sketch) works similarly to the D510/D110 setting, but due to the BT interface presented by the Leica D810 this will only work if no other Bluetooth devices are within range of the iPad.
BT Moves to next Line
This setting controls what happens after a Bluetooth measurement is received by the iPad. If the line being edited is part of a completed room and his setting is set to "ON", then the line being edited will move to the next line in the room.
Snap to Grid Default
When a sketch is edited and this setting is set to “ON” then all points added will snap to a grid point.
New Room Line Labels
If this setting is set to "OFF" when a room is completed the line length of each wall is hidden.
