 * 1) Language: FreeCAD will automatically pick the language of your operating system, but you might want to change that. FreeCAD is almost fully translated to 5 or 6 languages, plus many others that are at the moment only partially translated. You can easily help to translate FreeCAD.

 * 2) Auto-load module: Normally, FreeCAD will start showing you the start center page. You can skip this and begin a FreeCAD session directly in the workbench of your choice. Workbenches will be explained in detail in the next chapter.
 * 3) Create document at startup: Combined with the option above, this starts FreeCAD ready for work. [[Image:Freecad-basic-options02.jpg|none]]
 * 4) Storage options: As any complex application, FreeCAD might crash from time to time. Here you can configure a few options that will help you to recover your work in case of a crash.
 * 5) Authoring and license: You can set the default settings that will be used for your new files. Consider making your files shareable right from the start, by using a friendlier, copyleft license like Creative Commons.
 * 6) Redirect python messages to output view: These two options are always good to mark, as they will permit you to see what's wrong in the Report View when there's a problem with running a particular python script. [[Image:Freecad-basic-options03.jpg|none]]
 * 7) Units: Here you can set the default units system you wish to use. [[Image:Freecad-basic-options04.jpg|none]]
