The Hardware > Drawers page of the Drawing Properties provides the ability to set current job defaults i.e. default Runner Group and Runner Sets. 

 

Default Runner Group

Use the drop list to select the type of drawer runners that are required for the current job/drawing.

You can select one of three Runner Groups...

• Standard
• Metal Standard (includes Metabox) and
• Metal Premium (inc. TandemBox, Innotech and Grass )

Default Runner Set

Each Runner Group can have any number of Runner Sets associated to them and multiple runner set tables can be set up and then selected from for each drawer type. See notes on tables below.

Example

For the Runner Group "Metal Premium" (below) we have selected the "Finista Edge" Runner Set.

You can now edit the "Finista Edge" runner set by clicking on the associated Edit Runners button.

If the Default Runner Group is set as "Metal Premium" then the current job/drawing will use the "Finista Edge - Matt White" runner set.

 

Images are provided in the smz file that is downloaded via StoreMaster.

However you can amend these manually - see Runner Sets : Note on Image and Logo.

Edit Runners

The Edit buttons allow you to manage the selected runners set, as shown above.

• Standard
• Metal Standard
• Metal Premium
• Basket
• Corner - Corner runners are similar in construction to Metal Premium

Follow links above to see full discussion on using Runners Properties to manage the Runner Set.

Tables

Associated Runner tables (up to 5 per set) can be amended using the Runner Editor which can also be accessed from here.

Runner Set tables (located in <your CabMaster folder>\Table\RunnerSet have additional columns called...

• BrandLogo : An image (in JPG or PNG format) of the brand's logo.
  • Image stored in \Bitmap\Supplier\
• ImageName : An image of this runner set's drawer.
  • Image stored in \Bitmap\Hardware\Drawers\

Both should be available on the manufacturer's (or supplier's) website. The simplest way is to just screenshot them and crop to size, just ensure that all images used have clean edges. 

For more on tables required for a drawer runner system, see Drawer Runner Overview.

Gap Between

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

• The width of the drawer box is determined by the Gap for the selected drawer runner.
• This gap is applied to both sides of the drawer box.

The Default Gap between Top Drawer Box & Carcass can be overridden by typing the new gap default in the edit box.

Additional Runner Gap Options

These increase the value for the gap between the drawerbox and carcass retrieved from a runner table. For example, if the table specifies a 14mm gap and the additional gap is 4mm then the resulting gap is 20mm. 

Drawer Front Overlap

Turn on/off Include Drawer Front Bottom Overlap in all Drawers. 

Dust Panels

Turn on/off Dust Panel Depth. If enabled...

• the edit box will be made available for a depth to be entered (otherwise Full Depth will be used);
• use the radio buttons to Position in Cabinet at either the Front or Back of cabinet.
