== Options... Menu ==
[[File:Options... Menu.png|framed|right|<center>The '''Options...''' Menu</center>]]The '''Options...''' menu has five functions: [[#Show Help|Show Help]], Import, Export, Restore Settings, and Reset to defaults.
*'''Import''' allows the user to load a slice settings file (.slice, .ini, .printer) into MatterControl. Any existing values will be replaced by those in the file.
*'''Export''' allows the user to save all current slice settings values to file.
*'''Restore Settings''' opens the 'Restore Settings' window, allowing the user to select from the last ten automatically-saved configurations and restore one.
*'''Reset to defaults''' resets all settings back to their default values taken from the printer profile.
