• Change the runner table for each Height by using the drop list to select available runners.
• Amend each related runner table by clicking the Edit button, which opens the Runner Editor.
  • Once a runner is selected, the editor allows selection of the runner lengths from a drop list.
  • The settings for each runner length can then be adjusted and saved.
  • Saving can be done for just the selected length or the same value can be saved for all lengths.
  • There are separate areas for adjusting Construction or Pricing details.

Min. Gap Between Runner & Cabinet Back

Min. Gap  -  Click to Expand

This can be changed on the...

• Drawers page of the Hardware category (see expanded image) or
• the Runners Properties dialog (see expanded image) or
• you can Override at Cabinet Level

The drawer 'Depth' by default is the interior depth of the cabinet minus 'Min. Gap Between Runner & Cabinet Back'.

You can also specify additional Drawer Mechanism Gaps.

Override Min. Gap at Cabinet Level

It is possible to override the 'Minimum Gap' option in the Catalog/Drawing properties using the options available on the Cabinet, as per illustration below.

The width of the drawer box is determined by the Gap column in the selected drawer table.

This gap is applied to both sides of the drawer box - see also Runner Construction.

Fronts/Backs Full Width

Fronts and Backs Full Width  -  Click to Expand

The effect of the Fronts/Backs> options, checked and unchecked, are shown on following image.

Include All Parts

Include All Parts is not related to the Full Width option. It is used to specify whether all parts of the drawers are to be included in the export of the drawer to the machine or report.

The shape of the parts using the machining are shown, so if you uncheck this option the drawers disappear.

Box Height

Box Height  -  Click to Expand

There are 3 ways to control the height of Standard Drawers (3rd way relevant to these options)...

1. Height specified in the runner table.
2. The maximum height available for the drawer taking any required gaps into account.
3. After the maximum height available is calculated (see 2), it can be Rounded Down to Nearest multiple of the given value, then have an amount added using Plus.
   • The Min and Max are used in conjunction with the others.

Example 1: Useful if you use ready made drawer boxes that are available in regular height increments e.g. 104mm, 114mm, 124mm, 134mm etc

• If the maximum calculated space was 127mm.
• Rounding Down to Nearest 10mm would give 120mm then adding 4mm would give 124mm.

Example 2: Useful for when ready made boxes come in a predefined range e.g. smallest is 104mm and largest is 404mm.

• If Max is 400mm and the height available is 457mm.
• Rounding Down to Nearest 10mm would go to 400mm instead of 450m.

Bottom (Base) radio buttons

Bottom  -  Click to Expand

Base Position (or Bottom) options Inside, Full Depth or Underneath defines the construction of the drawer box, with regard to the Bottom (Base). These are defined as...

• Inside - fully inside the sides, front and back (required for Dovetail construction) or
• Full Depth - inside the sides but below the front and back or
• Underneath - below the sides, front and back.
  • When not below them, the base can be rebated into the Front, Back and/or Sides at a given height above the bottom of the drawer.
• Inside Front / Under Back - see example.
• Under Front / Inside Back - see example.

Example Front/Back

This shows the difference between the 'Inside Front / Under Back' and 'Under Front / Inside Back' radio button options.

Rebate and Raise Bottom

Rebate and Raise Bottom  -  Click to Expand 

Rebate allows you to rebate Front/Back and between (inside) the Sides. 

The only exception to this is on a Tall standard pantry on the Drawers2 page where there is an option for the Fronts/Backs to be made Full Width.

Drawers2 page option - Click to Expand

Raise Bottom allows the bottom to be up inside the front, back and sides (i.e. not flush with the bottom).

• This is also known as a gap and can also be controlled in the BaseRecess column of the table.

Raise Front/Back raises the front and back ends along with the base

• Only applicable when the Bottom option of the drawer is set to Inside.

Sink Drawer Defaults

Sink Drawer Defaults  -  Click to Expand

The sizing of sink drawers can be set here in the Drawing Properties and overridden on the cabinet on the Sink Drawers page.

• The Left (L) and Right (R) are from the inside edge of the Carcass (thereby including the runner mechanism) to the edge of the central void (thereby including any inner drawer sides).
• The Centre (C) void is between the mid drawer sides.
• The Front (F) is from the very front of the drawer box (including any front component) to the back of the mid back.

• Back Width Gap- a positive value shrinks the width of the drawer back ends, while keeping the same width of the sink cutout's front end.
• Mid Back Gap Width - a positive value shrinks the width of the front end of the sink cutout.

Cabinet Properties

Sink Drawers page

Each applicable drawer cabinet has a Sink Drawer page  which allows editing of sink drawer properties, provided fixed values are not set in the drawer's definition table.

Image: Cabinet Details > Sink Drawers page

Drawer Materials

Materials-Advanced category of the Catalog/Drawing properties allows you to select the drawer box material for each part of the drawer e.g. from the applicable page, as in this example, you can select the Board materials for the drawer box carcass on the Carcass page.

Materials-Advanced category

These options are then reflected on the Materials-Advanced > Drawer Standard page, as shown below. On the Drawer Standard page a different material can be used for the drawer base when a drawer is marked as being an 'Alt Drawer Base' such in the requirement for a Potdrawer.

Drawer Standard page allows for selection of Alternate Base
