Quick lesson in drawings, please

Post by Gene Davis »

I find the documentation sadly lacking, and am stumped as to how to proceed to make elevation drawings of kitchen designs.

I simply want a drawing for each run of cabs, dimensioned, for use by the installer. Cab numbers should be displayed.

Any hints? Any good tutorials?

There is agreat deal of documentation available including \"eCabinets Systems made easy\" downloadable off the eCabinet Systems website. In the meantime all you do is pull the wall you want up into elevation when in the custom layout, click on the Line Drawing editor icon, select \"take wall\" from the list and you can then dimension the units and activate casë numbering.

Gene,

There are a few ways to accomplish this.
1) Nick mentioned...While you are in the detail area double click on a wall and take it to the line editor. There you can select the wall and click the \"123\" icon.

You can also place your dimensions here.

The second way is sometimes a pain, it requires every cabinet to be associated to its proper wall and no other wall.

From the detail area or custom layout, take the custom layout to the LDE. Next select a wall and click \"copy\" or ctrl C. Make a new page and \"paste\" or ctrl V onto the space. When you paste things on the space it is pasted on the upper left side. If you can't see it hit the Home key.
