Beta

These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

Tabs

File

Each divider marks a group, described below in the same order

The File tab is the one you always come back to. Half of it is what you would expect — new, open, save, copy, paste, undo — and the other half is a shortcut board: the panels, the studios and the settings, gathered so you do not have to remember which tab a thing lives in.

Ten groups, left to right. Several buttons open tools documented in another section; those cards link straight there.

Files

NewA new file from a template. Small Objects — Millimeters is the one for jewellery: it sets the viewport to a millimetre scale.
OpenOpen a file — with importing, inserting and the worksession manager in its submenu.
SaveSave the file, with the save-as variants in its submenu.
RecentThe files you had open last.
StdizePuts a model imported from another CAD — Matrix, MatrixGold, RhinoGold — onto RhinoArtisan's layer structure, so the rest of the tools recognise it.
- Create Layer's Structure — the layer tree on its own
- Organize Objects by Layer — the objects onto it
File SearchFind a design by name across the folders you indexed.
- Update index
