How much time?

Post by Paul Bruce »

Just wondering how much time the average ecabinets user spends designing cabinets for custom kitchens? Assuming you have a standard library created and you are making changes to the standards to suit your custom needs. Also, how many kitchens per week are you working on?

I can tell you that I needed to go through a batch of about 30 cabinets to remove hardware defaults (2 clicks and about 2 seconds to make the change) and it took me almost 35 minutes to do this simple operation. I figured it should have taken me at most 10 minutes to make this default hardware change. I'm hoping that some attention will be paid to tuning the code when going from batch list and room layout to CE and back again.

The software should be setup to allow changes to all files in a directory. It is pretty painful to change the settings for each cabinet in a library. At the very least there should be a check box in the Construction Settings dialog for "Apply Settings to Library" (right next to the OK button) that would update every file in the directory to the new settings.
