My Designs Dashboard
View, edit, and manage your saved CADit designs from the My Designs dashboard.
My designs dashboard
The My Designs dashboard displays all designs you have saved to your CADit account. From here you can view your designs, edit their details, open them in CADit, download files, and delete designs you no longer need.
Accessing the dashboard
- Log in to your CADit account
- Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner
- Select My Designs from the dropdown menu
You can also navigate directly to cadit.app/dashboard.
Viewing your designs
The dashboard displays your designs as cards in a grid layout. Each card shows:
- Thumbnail image: Preview of the design
- Name and description: The design title and a brief description
- Privacy status: Badge indicating whether the design is Public or Private
- Design type: Badge showing the design type (CADit File, Script, GitHub Script, etc.)
- Statistics: Creation date, number of opens, and number of likes
Filtering designs
Use the filter tabs at the top of the dashboard to show specific designs:
- All: Shows all your designs
- Public: Shows only designs visible to everyone
- Private: Shows only designs visible to you
Each tab displays a count of how many designs match that filter.
Design actions
Each design card includes action buttons:
Edit
Click Edit to open the design editing page where you can update:
- Design name
- Description
- Category
- License
- Primary image (thumbnail)
- Additional gallery images
- Privacy setting (Public or Private)
- Source URL
For script-based designs, you can also edit the script files directly.
Open in CADit
Click the external link icon to open the design in the CADit editor. The design loads in a new browser tab.
Download
Click the download icon to save a copy of the design:
- For CADit File designs: Downloads the
.caditproject file - For GitHub Script designs: Downloads the repository as a ZIP file
Delete
Click the trash icon to delete a design. A confirmation dialog appears before deletion.
For regular designs, deletion removes the design and all associated files from your account.
For GitHub Script designs, deletion also removes or deprecates the associated GitHub repository and npm package. This affects other users who may have installed the package, so review the warning carefully before confirming.
