Welcome to the Forum, Donnie! You will find everyone here always willing to help - just post away 8) .

I suggest you first save the room, with the file extension *.esj; for example, for this first job, you could use the file name test room.esj.

Suggested steps:
1. You should have saved the room (or wall) - NOTE: You MUST save the cabinet in other than the Standard Cabinets folder, by creating it in a new directory you specify when saving the cabinet
2. Load this room
3. Click on the Detail Room button (upper / left-hand corner of the screen)
4. The screen changes, to show \"Select item to install\" at the top-left corner
5. Pull down the menu, and select the first option, \"Item\"
6. Click on the Back button, to navigate to the folder where you saved the cabinet (in Step 1, above)
7. Select the folder where you saved the cabinet - NOW you can select and load your cabinet and place it in the room
8. If you use your mouse to \"push\" the cabinet against the wall, it will be in the proper orientation, facing the viewer.

That is it! Enjoy!


P.S.: Selecting the Help pull-down menu at the main eCabinet Systems screen will allow you open the Help Manual. I suggest you keep it open all the time, for easy reference.

Highlite the cabinet -- then RC on the wall and then -- Associate to wall -- then-- DC-- wall and you will have an elevation view that will allow you to move the cabinet up or down with --- SHIFT & arrows.
