Select the Fold Tool , click on the main structural panel of your design, and designate it as the rigid floor panel.

You can import 3D models of products to build packaging around them, ensuring a perfect fit.

: When designing premium cosmetics or structural displays, use the advanced arc tools to build tension-based curved folds.

Speed up your drafting process by moving beyond basic line and circle tools. ArtiosCAD features dedicated shortcut utilities designed specifically for structural packaging logic.

By moving away from standard point-to-point drawing and embracing parametric constraints, multi-part 3D assembly, and automated tooling layouts, you will drastically slash your prototyping time and ensure flawless production runs.

To prevent die-chatter and uneven pressure during production runs, use the balance knife feature to automatically distribute cutting resistance across the layout sheet.

To create a new project, follow these steps:

: Export structural lines directly to Illustrator using specialized layers for cutting lines (red) and creasing lines (green).

Export dielines to Illustrator for artwork application, then view the final decorated package back in ArtiosCAD 3D. 5. Outputs and Reports

Transform geometry into creases to define fold logic without searching through toolbars.

When you launch ArtiosCAD, you'll see a user-friendly interface with several sections:

: Ensure your crease allowances accurately account for the inner and outer squeeze of the specific paperboard caliper you use. This guarantees that 3D mockups accurately reflect the physical assembly limits. 3. Master the 3D Animation and Folding Order

: Link ArtiosCAD to software like WebCenter or a local SQL server to track version histories.

Extend lines or move points by exact dimensions.
