Nudge Step: Sets the distance that a nudge will move an object. Values are specified in Pixels.

Zoom factor: Controls how much you zoom in or out of the drawing when you use View / Zoom In or Zoom Out. The default zoom step setting is 2, meaning that zooming in doubles the size. See Zoom In and Zoom Out.

Zoom In/Out Centralize: When this feature is On (default), rolling the mouse wheel will zoom in/out and centralize the view & cursor at the center of the drawing area. When this is Off, rolling the wheel will zoom in/out at the location of the cursor.

Fixed relative origin: If checked, the relative origin will be fixed while in relative or polar coordinates. If you need to relocate the origin, it must be done manually. See Relative Coordinates and Polar Coordinates.

Geometric select edit: If checked, objects will be selected by their geometric extents, rather than their cosmetic extents. This permits geometrically accurate scaling of objects like double lines and lines that have nonzero width. See Geometric and Cosmetic Select Modes?.
