Select a PDF or Adobe Illustrator file containing the registration graphics.

For a newcomer, the interface can look like the cockpit of a 747. For a professional, mastering the nuances of the "Design Table" separates efficient production from costly manufacturing errors.

Once the 2D geometry is established, the designer must assign . In generic CAD, a line is just a line. In ArtiosCAD, a line is an instruction for the cutting table. The designer must verify that cutting lines are assigned to a "Cut" layer (often represented by a specific color, typically red or black depending on standards) and folding lines are assigned to a "Crease" or "Score" layer. This distinction is vital for the next stage: 3D visualization. If these attributes are wrong, the virtual fold will fail, or the manufacturing laser will cut where it should crease.

Use the status bar to input exact dimensions. For a box with a Length of 200mm, Width of 150mm, and Height of 250mm, draw the major panels sequentially.

Once your 2D design is finished, it’s time to see it in 3D. Select .
