CM-Cabinets Library User Guide
At Cabinet level each cabinet can have up to 10 cutouts which can be defined on the Cabinet Machining > Defined Cutouts page.
Each cutout can be associated with a different part (or multiples on the same part), which provides the ability to import DXF and/or QPF files into a parts DXF as a cutout.
Watch the video which demonstrates how to create Cabinet Cutouts using the Enable Cabinet Cutout option. (1:48mins) The Defined Cutouts page has 10 radio buttons representing the 10 cutouts and an option to show their anchor points.
Once a cutout is being used (defined using the Edit button) the Part in which it will be cut is stated.
Cutout 1 is the Part in which the cutout will be applied - Click to Expand
Select a number and click on Edit button to open the Cutout Properties form where the cutout is defined.
