    Insert Unused Based Ons

    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 Based Ons option.

    There are two (2) methods of doing this, depending on which CabMaster product you have :-

    Method 1 : CabMaster Machining Premium, CabMaster Designer Pro, CabMaster Designer CL, CabMaster Designer 3D

    Method 2 : CabMaster Machining Premium, CabMaster Designer Pro

      Watch the video which discusses both methods.

     

     Method 1: File Menu

    Step 1 Prepare

    Open the File menu, then navigate down the list to select Prepare > Insert Unused Based Ons option, as shown.

     

    A message will pop up letting you know how many cabinets were added to the catalog.

    'marked as unused' means that the added library items can be viewed in Cabinet Selection on Home tab.

     

    Step 2 Save

    Now you need to save the catalog by either closing CabMaster, or switching to a different library.

    The following message will be presented, to confirm the save.

     

     Method 2: Library Catalog Manager

    The Library Catalog Manager [LCM] is only available with CabMasterPro or higher software license and accessed from the View tab on the CabMaster command ribbon.
