The Preferences object provides access to settings that control the sign conventions and units used to display and input quantities into the Multiframe user interface. These settings also control the sign convention used within Multiframes automation interface and so it is important when automating Multiframe to ensure that any input is expressed with the current sign conventions and in the correct units. The properties and methods of the preference object are summarised in the two tables that follow.
