Buy List

[Leo Graywacz]

I am working on a kitchen and I never use the lists.

For giggles I decided to see what it spit out and all I got was drawer fronts and doors. No hinges, slides or other stuff.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something I have to setup ?

Leo,

You need to set default hinges, mounts, slides etc. in the door/drawer front editor as well as the drawer box editor and those items will be added when you place the doors and drawers. You can also add items to the cabinet such as lazy susans, decorations etc. and they will be reflected in the buy/cost lists.

[Leo Graywacz]

OK, I just played around with that and it still seems to not work.

I bring the cabinet into the CE.

I select on the right hand listing, hinges.
I had to enter in the Blum hinge and the mounting plates and then default them to the cabinet.

I then selected drawer slides and I had to add the 562H slide and the R and L locks and then defaulted them to the cabinet.

I saved the cabinet in the CE

I then looked at the cabinet buy list from the right hand pull over menu and all it listed was the door

I used the buy list icon and again all it listed was the door.

What am I doing wrong?

You Have to select each front you want to apply the hardware to then select apply. This feature allows you to apply different hardware to different fronts on the same cabinet. Forrest

OK. let me see if I can figure out how to do that.

I shall return.

[Leo Graywacz]

OK, got it.

More questions.

Blum Tandem locks. How do you set that up. You need a right and left and I can't seem to add both. I have combined them as a pair for now

And lately I have been using the Blum soft close hinges. But most of the time I only use one soft close and one normal close. Is there a way to do that? It seems to add the hinges in pairs with no way to over ride it other than adding. It won't let me put a -1 in the assembly area to modify the quantity, but I can add hinges.

[Leo Graywacz]

More issues.

Trying to add images to the parts so you have a visible ID. I can load the image under the files tab but it won't stick. As soon as I select the part the image disappears and then doesn't show anymore.

How do you make it stick. I press the OK and then the Apply buttons. Still disappears.

[Leo Graywacz]

OK, weird.

I was able to make the Blum Lock picture stick on the slide mount specs. So I tried to make the pic stick on the Tandem slides, thinking maybe the pic was the problem, nope. I have a picture of the lock that works but I can't get the picture of the slides to work.

I tried my picture of the slides on the locks and it works. And I have a picture in my hinges that works. So it looks like just the slides picture won't stick. (for now)

Maybe a bug.

[Kerry Fullington]

Leo,

You add the pictures in Preferences/Define hardware then when you choose a default slide the picture will show.

[Leo Graywacz]

Worked for all of them except the Slide. Tried several times.

[Leo Graywacz]

Looks like when I add a part code it kills the picture. It really doesn't like the word Tandem

[Kerry Fullington]

Leo,

Don't know what the problem might be. I used the word Tandem for a product code and it works fine.

Are you adding the image here?

Yep, that is the only place I can find to add it. If I put some nonsense in the part number like ABC I can keep the picture, but the true part number or other words and the pic disappears and even if I change the words I cannot add any other picture. I have to remove the part and add a new product and start over again.

Frustrating, no problems with other items, just the slides.

[Kerry Fullington]

Leo,

If you change a product code eCabs thinks it is a new product and it won't access the image. Click Add product then enter all the information and the image then click Apply and your image will show up. If you change the product code your image will disappear.

[Leo Graywacz]

I have tried all various versions of entering that pic. I didn't have any problem with any of the other items, all have a pic. Just this one is confounding me. I am pretty sure it ain't me.

Hmmm...smilies aren't working, had to cheat to get it to work.
