This option brings up the dialog that allows you to setup a project workspace in the XY plane.

This option allows you to align native CAD geometry to the project.

This option allows you to move the objects or geometry to a specified origin within the project.

This option allows you to convert native CAD geometry to a relief in the project.

This option brings up the file open dialog which allows you to select the image files such as gif, bmp and jpg. After a file has been selected, the 3D Relief creation dialog pops up and you can now change the parameters in the dialog to create relief.

This option brings up the puffed volume creation dialog. This dialog allows you to select two sets of curves (border curves and detail curves) and generates a puffed volume inside the enclosed curve.

This option allows you to sweep a cross-section curve along the selected rail curve to generate a swept volume. You can create curves of various cross sections such as straight lines, arcs (concave or convex) and ellipses (concave or convex).

This brings up the open dialog which allows you to select shapes (.slb files) that have been previously saved to Shape Library.

Selecting this button imports operations from VisualART 1.0 to the ART Browser for part file that is currently loaded.

This button allows you to export the ART geometry (meshes) to VisualCAD. Thus, a mesh can be easily saved in VisualCAD and further used in any downstream applications native to VisualCAD/CAM.

This button allows you to set preferences such as File Load Options, Display Options, Mesh Export Options, and Closed Mesh Options.

Toggle material texture visibility on and off.  When on, the material texture will display on the part.

Toggle the display of the Shape Library.  When toggled on, the Shape Library will display below the ART Browser.
