File > New > Project

Use this menu option to create a project. Projects enable you to manage multiple models and assemblies from the Project Tree.

Note: The New Project button on the File toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option.

ArtCAM opens with the Project panel docked and pinned. The Project panel contains the Project Tree, which consists of three default items:

• The Project item.

  This is represented by the icon, and is the root of the Project Tree. It is named (Untitled) by default.

  Note: You can give the project a name when it is saved for the first time.
• The Models folder item.

  This is represented by the icon and hosts any number of models.

• The root Assembly item.

  This is represented by the icon, and hosts any number of assemblies and their associated meshes and gems.

You cannot delete any of these items from the Project Tree, or rename them.

Note: The availability of this feature is license dependent.
