Relief > Clipart Library

Use the Relief Clipart Library panel to manage reliefs saved as ArtCAM Relief (.rlf) or ArtCAM Model (.art) files that you want to import into an open ArtCAM model. ArtCAM recalls the position in which the relief was originally saved.

Note: The Relief Clipart Library button on the File and Relief Creation toolbars is the shortcut for this menu option.

A relief clipart library is made up of at least one folder that contains one or more files. A list of the available libraries is included in the Options area of the Relief Clipart Library panel. When you select a library, the files it contains are displayed as thumbnails.

To arrange the thumbnails:

To search for a piece of relief clipart within the available libraries, enter your search term in the box at the top of the panel. The top results are displayed below this box as you type.

Tip: Use the wild card * character to search within a word.

To locate a piece of relief clipart on your computer, right-click its thumbnail and select Locate File from the context menu. A Windows Explorer dialog displays the folder with the file selected.

To delete a piece of clipart, right-click its thumbnail and select Delete from the context menu. The thumbnail and file are removed.

To rename a piece of clipart:

  1. Right-click its thumbnail and select Rename from the context menu. The clipart's name is selected and highlighted.
  2. Enter the new name for the clipart, then press the Enter key. The thumbnail is reordered alphabetically, and the name of its associated file is updated.

If there are no ArtCAM Relief (.rlf) or ArtCAM Model (.art) files in a folder, a message is displayed on the panel indicating that no library has been found.
