• How to find it:
  1. Look at the toolbar at the top of the screen.
  2. Locate the View menu.
  3. Select Plan View (or look for the icon that looks like a flat square with an arrow pointing down).
  4. Alternatively, press F2 on your keyboard (in some versions) to toggle between 3D and 2D Plan views.

2.1 Hardware Requirements (Topping out your PC)

• OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 10 (Pro version, 64-bit) – Avoid Windows 11's 22H2 update if possible, or use Windows 7 compatibility mode.
• RAM: 8GB minimum (16GB for top performance).
• GPU: Dedicated graphics (NVIDIA Quadro or GeForce) with OpenGL 2.1 support.
• Storage: Install on an SSD (NVMe preferred) – not the default C:\Program Files (Microsoft's security permissions clash with ArtCAM's 2008 architecture). Use C:\ArtCAM_Pro_9.1 instead.

ArtCAM Pro 9.1’s UI is tiny on modern screens. How to find it:

• Locate ArtCAMPro.exe → Right-click → Properties → Compatibility → Change high DPI settings.
