Setting up System Preferences

The first step is to set up our Preferences

a) Left Click the Solid Button > Left Click Preferences

Review each of the following screens to set things up

b) User Tab

Not essential, but you can enter your company info into the 'User' section

c) Geometry Tab

Check 'Include Banding in Cutlist Part Size'

This is an important setting if you are using the Cut List

d) Layout Tab

  1. Set all 'Clearances' to zero to enable full control of appliance and furnishing placement in the job
  2. Increase 'Maximum' Door Size - Cabinet Vision will use this size to decide when it should split the face of your cabinet (We make it a really big number)
  3. Choose 'Edit' settings - Double click on assembly in wall elevation mode (We prefer to section at assembly level - But try both ways)
  4. Uncheck 'Adjust assemblies on appliance move' (This can be annoying if left checked unless you choose to automate the cabinet sizes)
  5. Uncheck 'Center appliances under Windows' (This one is also annoying to some of us...)

e) Measurement Units

  • Set unit to 'mm'
  • Set the 'Metric Precision' to 1.1 (only 1 decimal point)
  • Left Click the check box 'Trim trailing decimal zeros'

f) General

  • Set the size of the Undo/Redo stack, or set to zero (0) to disable Undo/Redo
  • Set Auto-Save time in minutes or set to zero (0) to disable Auto-Save.
  • Set number of jobs shown on Recent Job List Menu

Click OK. You’ve completed the Preferences!
