01

Choose a starting point on the homepage

Use Find your way to jump to Start here, Your printer, Export options or Help & guides when those sections are enabled. The Find a part, Improve a fit and Prepare a print choices point to relevant guides. Preview a source part, printer/nozzle setup or export format before opening a tool.

Open a part in Designer or choose Use this setup to carry that selection through the entry page into a new draft. Resume last part appears when a previous browser draft is available. Preview controls do not rewrite saved designs or create Tested evidence; example images are not physical print results.

03

Explore the tools and workflow

Features has jump links for Design & inspect, Source library, Calibration, Interlock Lab, Printer & filament and Saved Parts. These sections explain the tools and show labeled examples; Enter Studio opens the entry page. Interlock Lab remains an experimental pilot, and MOC remains Coming soon. Assembly editing, multi-part build preparation and automatic MOC generation are unavailable.

How it works follows five stages: Match the setup, Choose a source, Compare candidates, Verify the result and Prepare the print. Use the chapter rail or the compact Workflow chapters menu to jump between stages. Each stage includes checks before moving on and a related guide; the illustrations do not represent passing test results.

04

Read guides in the dedicated website Wiki

At /wiki, search the full guide text and choose Find a guide to move to the directory. Topic filters combine with the search; Reset filters restores All guides. Task cards provide direct starting points.

A guide’s numbered On this page links track the current section; compact screens use the In this guide menu. Section-link icons provide direct anchors, with Back to top and related guides below. The printer reference includes its own search and result count.

Website guides remain at /wiki/<guide>. Settings → Wiki & help and /help keep the in-Studio presentation of the same content, configuration facts and source attribution.

05

Keep an existing design in its original tab

When you explicitly open a Studio tool link in a new tab, the existing Studio tab stays open. Settings → Nexlock home opens separately so you can explore the website while keeping your current workspace open. Profile settings opens inside Studio. Return to Part Designer to pick up the part and settings you were working on.

A new tool tab is a separate workspace. It can load your saved defaults and records, but does not copy an unsaved design, selected calibration candidate or temporary edits from another tab. Use Save project while signed in when you want to reopen a design intentionally.

The working Studio remains available at /studio. The existing /help route opens the full Wiki & help workspace, and earlier #wiki links on the home address still open the matching help guide.

06

Use a direct Studio link

These links choose the destination page only. They do not select a saved design, change a print recipe or create a Tested result. Saved parts, calibration profiles and local Companion pairing retain their existing workflows.
