I believe everyone is familiar with the concept of personalized customization, which emphasizes using a flexible production approach to meet diverse market demands and provide users with customized products. Our HaoChen 3D software is no exception; it offers users the greatest degree of customization both in terms of its interface and its operational features. Of course, this kind of customization allows not only for tailoring the 3D drawing interface according to the user’s preferences, but also for creating personalized templates based on a company’s drawing standards and industry-specific parametric guidelines. Next, the editor will teach you some practical CAD tips for making personal customizations in the HaoChen 3D software. I. How to customize the 3D drawing toolbar? Open the HaoChen 3D software, place the mouse over any function command, and right-click to select “Customize Ribbon”” ； You can also directly go to the “Settings” within the application to make customizations. 1. On the Add/Remove tab, first determine the environment you want to customize; in this case, the example uses the quick part modeling window that is currently open. For tabs that are not needed or not used frequently, you can uncheck them in the selection box. At the same time, we can also create new tab buttons as needed to customize the creation process. After making the settings, click Save and close the customization module. Returning to the design interface, we can see that the interface theme has been automatically updated. 2. To adjust function commands, in the custom module, select the tab or function point that needs to be modified and right-click to make adjustments, such as changing the position of the function command, the size of its icon, or its name. A. Renaming: For functional commands whose names are too long and take up too much space, it is possible to simplify those names; for example, the name “Center and Dotted Circle” can be changed to “Circle”” ； B. Adjusting icon size: For small buttons that are used frequently, they can be changed to larger buttons to facilitate quick access; for example, the “Tangent Arc” button can be changed from a small button to a large one ； C. Text labels: For new users, text labels can be added to all buttons to facilitate identification and operation. D. Position adjustment allows tabs that are used frequently to be moved as a whole to a more convenient location for use. II. How to customize personalized templates? Haocheng 3D not only provides a variety of metric parts, sheet metal, assemblies, engineering drawings, and welding elements that meet **standards in the toolbar for creating new documents, but it also offers users the possibility to create custom elements of their own. 1. Open a standard template to enter the new document interface of HaoChen 3D. After clicking on the editing list, we can see various standard templates provided by HaoChen 3D, and users can directly use these templates for 3D drawing and design. 2. Copying standard folders: If users wish to create their own standard templates, they can open the software’s installation directory under “Template” and copy a standard folder, for example, copy “GB Metric”. 3. Select the document type by clicking on the type you wish to change, such as “gb metric part”; the steps for modifying other types of documents are the same. 4. By accessing the “Customized Ribbon,” we can choose modules such as keyboard, quick access, ribbon, disk menu, and layout to customize it personally, as mentioned above. 5. Name the “Personal Template”: Once customization is complete, click [Save] to close the document and return to the “Template” page, then name the modified document. For example, “gb metric part” can be changed to “Part Personal Template”; of course, the name of the parent folder can also be modified. Once the personal customization is completed, we can call our customized personalized template just as easily as a standard template. After watching the above CAD tutorials, don’t you also feel tempted to create custom designs using the HaoChen 3D software? So, hurry up and download HaoChen 3D 2020 to give it a try!
