    Drawer Runner Table Filter
    In This Topic

    Runners can be accessed in the Catalog/Drawing Properties on the Hardware > Drawers page.

    To reduce the long list of Drawer runner tables to a manageable size for selection purposes, you can...

    1. divide up the drawer runner tables into sub-folders in <your CabMaster>\Table folder.
      • This allows you to then use the related Property page drop lists.

      and/or

    2. by filtering the list based on the runner set.
      • This is a list of runners, along with a depth at which they are to be used.
      • The 'depth' relates to the available drawer depth within the cabinet.
    When applied to a cabinet, CabMaster will select the correct runner for the  internal space available taking into account any necessary gaps.

    Sub Folders

    For these to work, the runners need to be put into subfolders. Edit buttons are provided to Edit Runners allowing you to manage overrides of runner properties.

    Newly created tables or distributed tables are always placed in sub-folders to keep each manufacturer together.

    Users are free to move these around, use a subset of what is distributed or even rename them. In this case Filters may be of greater use as discussed below.

    The drop list selection is a typeable field, i.e. you can simply type in the description and not use the drop list . This means that you can blank it out and thereby have no sub-folder.

    The Edit (purple) button/s made available can be used to edit the Runner Properties - see discussion on Using the Runner Editor.

    If a Folder or Filter is used in the Catalog/Drawing level properties then you will only be presented with this limited range when making your selection at Cabinet level.
