To access the advanced preferences panel select the Preferences item on the Edit menu then select the Advanced tab on the Preferences dialog.

When the Meazure program terminates, it saves its preference settings and the configuration of all tools. Upon startup, Meazure reads these preferences and configurations so that the program appears exactly as it was left. Meazure allows the configuration of the tools to be saved to a file called a profile. You can load a profile anytime while running Meazure. You can also specify a profile to be loaded automatically when Meazure starts up. The Advanced preferences panel provides a text field for you to enter the pathname of a startup profile.

The Meazure program is highly configurable and it is possible to get to a point where it may be desirable to restore the program's original configuration. The Advanced preferences panel provides a Master Reset button to restore the default program configuration. Pressing the Master Reset button displays a confirmation dialog. If the reset is confirmed, all program settings are returned to their original values including the appearance of the measurement tools. Note that following a reset the position of the measurement tools is not changed but the selected tool is changed to the Cursor tool.
