Projects and files

Tasks

How do I download this design, or open it on another computer?

Menu (top left) › Download backup. The browser saves <project name>.cutlist.json. Send it, then Menu › Open file on the other device. Nothing syncs. DXF, PDF and CSV files cannot rebuild a design.

My file is called .cutlist.json. Can the installed app open it?

Yes, it is the same app: Menu › Open file opens it as a new local project and the open one stays saved. A tap on the file outside the app does not open Fabivo. A rejected file changes nothing.

Is my work saved automatically?

Yes: 400 ms after an edit, at once after a cut or assembly step, and when the tab hides or closes. A failure shows Retry save and Download backup at the top.

How do I start a new project?

Menu › New, then New project: the current project is saved, and the new one keeps units and settings. The start window covers the empty drawing; close it to draw, or press Open a saved project for the list.

How do I rename or delete a project?

• Type in Project name at the top left, or in Menu below 1180 px.
• Menu › Projects: Continue project opens a design; the bin icon asks first, then Delete confirms. The open project cannot be deleted.
• Checkpoint name and Save checkpoint keep a version; Open as a new copy opens one.

Can I change to centimetres or inches?

Use Settings › Units (gear, top right, or Menu › Settings on a phone), the Units select in the Model top bar, or mm / cm / in in the Plan parts table header. It converts parts, sheets, kerf and trim, sets 0 / 1 / 3 decimals for mm / cm / in, and marks the plan outdated: run Optimize.

How do I change the language or the theme?

Settings › Language: Español, English, Nederlands. Settings › Theme: Auto, Light, Dark. Both stay on this device, not in the file.

Is there an app to install?

Yes. In Chrome or Edge, Menu › Install app installs it when offered, also on Android. The installed app is the same site and sees this browser's projects.

Does the app work offline?

Yes, after the first visit; the toolbar shows Offline · local tools still work. The assistant and a shared plan link need a connection.

How do I bring a parts list from a spreadsheet?

Menu › Import with a .csv: columns for name, width, height and quantity, optional material, split by a comma, a semicolon or a tab, in the current unit. New rows add below the existing parts. A furniture model refuses the file. Menu › Export › Cut list CSV writes the cuts, not the parts, and needs a cut list.

Facts

• Clearing this browser's site data deletes the projects.
• The backup holds the model, parts, sheets, plan settings, cut plan and progress; no checkpoints, language or theme.
• Checkpoints: 5 per project, 80 characters per name.
• First run: units follow the language (cm for Español and Nederlands, in for English); kerf 3 mm, edge trim 5 mm, horizontal cuts, stack identical and auto-reoptimize, converted to that unit.
• A ?plan=<slug> link opens that published plan as a new project, once.

What the assistant does itself

• Count sheets with sheets (2440 × 1220 mm by default, or the stock given), with yield and unplaced boards.
• It cannot open, save, download or import a project, change units, language or theme, or see the Plan, Cut and Assemble workspaces.
• Only the user downloads a backup, picks a file, prints and installs.
