Start a part
.partcraft.json
These settings are only for PartCraft, and you can change them only here, in the app.
Which build of PartCraft this is. Give these lines when you report a problem.
Loading the menu styles…
Left button: drag to turn the part, right or middle drag pans. Middle button: the middle button (the wheel pressed) turns it, Shift + middle or right drag pans, and the left button only picks, so a click never turns the part by accident.
Trackpad: swipe with two fingers to turn the part, hold Shift and swipe to pan, pinch to zoom; in a sketch two fingers pan. Mouse wheel: the wheel zooms at the pointer. "Work it out" treats sideways or fine-grained scrolling as a trackpad.
On: a click that snaps to a point or a curve makes it coincident, and nearly level or upright lines become horizontal or vertical. Off: the pointer still snaps, but nothing is tied together until you add relations yourself, so a drag can pull the ends apart.
While a line, rectangle, circle or arc is being drawn, type a number for its size (Tab for the next one) and press Enter: the shape is drawn at that size with a driving dimension for each size you typed.
The view cube sits at the top right of the 3D view: click a face, edge or corner to look from there, drag it to turn the part. The axis icon is a small X, Y, Z marker at the bottom left. Neither shows while sketching or on the drawing sheet.
Large simulation models solve faster on several threads; small ones stay on one (starting threads costs more than it saves). Automatic uses one thread fewer than the computer has, so the page stays responsive.
Check for 3D printing says when a part is larger than this. Leave it empty to skip that check.
Select Workspace Theme
From add-ons and files
Ticked: the layout you pick above is kept for this app alone, and the other apps keep theirs. Unticked: it follows the choice for every app. In SuperCad Studio the layout follows the app you are working in.
Every app that has the workspace you pick opens in it; the others keep their toolbar and panels. Your toolbar style, menus and keys stay as they are.
A layout is a .ccworkspace.json file: data only, read as untrusted. It arranges the same building blocks in every app; each app fills them with its own tools. Drop a .ccworkspace.json file here to import it.
Work environments. Save your whole setup under a name (the layout, menu style and keys, toolbar, panels and My tools, for every app) and switch between setups. The theme and the language stay as they are.
Lost a toolbar, a menu or a panel?
Puts the toolbar (order, lock and buttons), the panels, the screen mode and the menu style back to how PartCraft starts. Your theme, language, sizes and PartCraft's own settings stay as they are.
How the tool icons look in layouts that use the CadCraft icon set, like Duncan.
The icons are vector drawings: they stay sharp at any size and follow Interface size.
The theme applies to every CadCraft app and the site.
The language applies to every CadCraft app. The app reloads to change it.
Global settings: each app can have its own measurement settings and defaults too.
Switch a unit on to see it in the unit lists. The star marks the default for new drawings, measures and items. These choices are the same in every app in this browser.
Loading the units…
A file keeps its own unit (a drawing's units, a project's feet or meters), and that unit stays in its list even when it is turned off here.
Sharing your hardware specs allows us to build more efficient engines. The information is aggregated and not associated with your account: the graphics card, processor cores, memory and screen size, the browser and system family, and the app — no files, no name, no address.
Off: no app starts its tour by itself. Each app's own settings can still turn its tour off, or take it again.
Browsers allow full screen only after a click or key press, so it starts on your first click in the drawing.
Toolbar rows
Wrap shows every group. 2 rows and 1 row keep the drawing taller; scroll the toolbar sideways for the rest.
On a touch screen (swipe the toolbar for more, or let it wrap)
Arrange: drag tools within their group, and drag a group by its name.
Right-click the toolbar (or long-press it) for Arrange, Lock and Reset.
Fingers on the drawing, once you use a pen here
The pen's side button, its eraser end and the finger taps are set in Input devices, where they can run any command.
With Only move the view, one finger on the drawing does nothing and two fingers move and zoom it. These choices are for this device, in every app. A pen is noticed the first time you use one here.
The bars, toolbars, panels and dialogs of PartCraft, bigger or smaller; the drawing keeps its own zoom. Panel text size works on top of it.
Compact tightens the row heights, panel padding, toolbar buttons and panel text of PartCraft, so more fits on the screen. A touch screen keeps its large targets either way.
You can also drag a panel's inner edge. Double-click the edge to put it back.
Panel widths apply when the panels sit beside the drawing (wider windows).
Drag a panel by its name to dock it left, right or at the bottom, or drop it over the drawing to float it. A new window can go on your other screen. Reset layout puts every panel back where it started.
In a panel with several sections, opening one (by clicking its heading or by choosing a tool in the menu) closes the others so the panel stays on what you are doing. The lock beside a heading keeps that section open. Turn this off to open and close sections yourself.
Add-ons add features to PartCraft. Switching one off takes effect at once; some need a reload to go completely.
Developer mode is on: add-ons that are not signed can load. Only use add-ons you trust.
