Post by Kerry Fullington »

I am still looking for a better way to create shop and installation drawings as per This Thread from 2016.
Any Ideas?

Thanks All,

I have been away from eCabinets and manufacturing for a couple of years and it is nice to be back.
Still looking for the button that automatically prints all shop drawings. :D

Nice to see you on line again Kerry.
I am also for you on getting the drawings onto pages rather than one elevation one drawing print.That is, multiple elevations on one page.
I know you can drop them into word or similar program but then nothing is to scale.
If you could highlight the screen view and save onto a page at a preset scale this would be neat.
Then if you could go into that Ecabinets drawing program and move things around. Rescale them. Move to another page. Write some notes like elevation A or Note power point at this height etc would make a good addition to ecabinets.
The other feature would be the abilty to change colours on dimesions and dimesion arrow points and lines. Be able to change the thickness of the lines and the font size of the dimesions and cabinet numbers. Just to take the presentation closer to what a interior designer or draftsman would create.
Hopefully others think this is worthy item to put on the programmers white board.
Regards
