Folders

Use folders to keep related designs together: a customer job, a product, or the six parts of an assembly. A design lives in one folder. Use tags for labels that several folders can share, such as a material or a work-in-progress state.

Create a folder

In the Designs panel, open the menu on the last breadcrumb above the tiles. Choose New folder, enter a name, and choose Create. The new folder appears where you are currently looking.

Open its tile to enter it. The breadcrumb now shows the path from Designs to your folder. Its menu offers New folder, New design, and Import design…, so you can start or bring in work directly inside that folder.

Tap an earlier breadcrumb to return to it. A long path collapses behind …; open that control to reach the hidden ancestors.

Move a design or folder

Open the item's ⋮ menu and choose Move to…. Choose a destination in the folder tree. Designs is the top level, so choose it to take an item out of a folder.

You can also drag a tile onto a folder. Check the destination shown while dragging before you release it.

To move several items together:

Moving changes where you find the design; it does not make a second copy. For a separate version, use Duplicate on the design's menu.

Rename a folder

Open the folder tile's ⋮ menu and choose Rename. Change its name and save. Its contents remain in the same folder.

Delete a folder and its contents

Choose Delete from the folder's ⋮ menu. Read the confirmation: it counts the designs and nested folders that will be removed. Choose Cancel if that is not the work you intended to delete. Confirm Delete only after checking the name and contents.

Find a design inside a folder

The sort and tag controls apply to the folder you are viewing. Entering another folder clears an active tag filter, so its contents are visible. If a design seems missing, check the breadcrumb and set Tags: All before looking elsewhere.
