The Model Screen

When you are working on a model, the model screen is displayed. For example:


Area

Description


The Menu bar is located at the top of the main window. Click an entry to display a list of options. Many menu options have keyboard shortcuts.

  • The availability of some menu options is license dependent.


Toolbars provide shortcuts to the most frequently used menu options. Click a button to access the function directly.

  • The availability of some toolbars is license dependent.


The workspace area contains the 2D and 3D views, which are tabbed by default. Both views display vectors and bitmap artwork; only the 3D view displays reliefs, calculated toolpaths, and toolpath simulations.


The 2D View and 3D View toolbars enable you to manipulate the 2D and 3D views, and to control what is displayed. Which toolbar is displayed depends on which view is active.


The Palette displays the colours that make up any bitmap artwork.


The Project panel contains the Project Tree and the tools associated with the Vectors, Bitmaps, Front Relief, Back Relief, Clipart, Sheets, and Toolpaths items.

  • The availability of some items is license dependent.


The status bar displays the cursor's coordinates; the width and height of the bounding box when vectors or previews of toolpaths are selected; a command's description when you position the cursor over a button or menu option; and a progress bar when calculating reliefs and toolpaths.
