When a new cabinet is added to the library in an update, or if you have deleted a cabinet from your catalog entirely, you can add any missing cabinets to your catalog with the Insert Unused BasedOns option.
There are two (2) methods of doing this, depending on which CabMaster Software™ product you have :-
Method 1 : Using File menu option : CabMaster Machining Premium, Designer Pro, Designer CL, Designer 3D
Method 2 : Using Library Catalog Manager : CabMaster Machining Premium and Designer Pro
