CM-Cabinets Library User Guide
The library uses external lookup tables to store the choice, detail and machining data for drawer runners. This allows each site to be set up according to local requirements. There is, however, a level of complexity involved in this that may be beyond the understanding of many users. It is therefore not uncommon that assistance is required from a CabMaster consultant to make necessary changes.
Runners can be accessed in the Catalog/Drawing Properties on the Hardware > Drawers page and are grouped into one of three Runner Groups ...
Each Runner Group can have any number of Runner Sets associated to them. This allows for the creation of default runners based on the height of the available drawer space (up to 5 runners per set). Default sets for each group can then be selected at catalog/drawing levels and cabinet level. Then as the cabinet is reformatted and the available drawer space changes, the appropriate runner will automatically be selected.
The format and order of the runner file is very important.
Each Runner Group has its own construction rules and tables (detailed below) and is a fixed list of three groups. This means that you cannot create any more groups (even by creating a new group folder).
A drawer runner file is required for each runner type, within this file there should be a row for each length in which the runner is available.
Each runner group has a subfolder in the ...Table\ folder, these subfolders are ...
Within the subfolder are the runner files (one for each runner type).
A Default Runner Group can be selected in the Catalog/Drawing properties on the Hardware > Drawers page as per the following example.
You can then select a Default Runner Set for each Drawer Runner Group using the drop list.
Default Runner Group is Standard and Default Runner Set for this group is Blum.
There are hundreds of sample tables shipped with CabMaster, so to help limit which ones are available for selection there are two tools Folder and Filter options, which can be used separately or both together. These are available in both the Catalog/Drawing and Cabinet levels.
Multiple Runner Set Tables can be set up and then selected from for each drawer Entry type e.g. Blum.
