    In This Topic

    Form and Table Editors for Drawer Runners can be accessed in the Catalog/Drawing Properties on the Hardware > Drawers page.

    Instead of direct table editing, the Runner Editor allows you to manage overrides of runner properties using a Form and can be accessed from the Catalog/Drawing Properties on the Hardware > Managers page or from the Hardware > Drawers page (or any other place where previously the table could be edited).

    The runner tables for Metal Premium drawers are those in <your CabMaster folder>\Table\DrawerTandembox\

    The following discusses available columns in tables and usage.

    Invalidly named columns are just ignored. 

    Metal Premium Table Details

    Column Name

    Details

    Cost

    Cost of the runner system. This pricing category is 'Hardware' to give a selling Price.

    MarkUp

    Additional Mark Up on the Cost. The Markup value is stored as a fraction (i.e. 0.1 is 10%, 0.5 is 50%)

    Extra Notes on Metal Premium Columns

    Vertical Position of Drawer Base

    This is only applicable to machining.

    The positioning of the drawer base in relation to the drawer front can be calculated in two different ways.

    1. Using just the runner table value for Bottom Clearance...
      • For the bottom drawer the Bottom Clearance is the gap between carcass bottom and bottom of the first drawer base.
      • For all other drawers it is the gap from bottom of its drawer front to the bottom of the draw base.
        • Because the bottom drawer front overhangs the carcass bottom this method results in the bottom drawer being different from the others.
    2. Using the 'Include drawer front bottom overlap in all drawers' option in conjunction with the Bottom Clearance.
      • This is found in the Cabinet Machining  > Drw Adj page of all drawer cabinets as shown below.
      • A global setting can also be made in Mach.General > Const2 page of the Drawing Properties.
    Drawer Fronts  -  Click to Expand

    Drawer Fronts  -  Click to Expand

    Checking the 'Include' option in either the Global or Cabinets settings will add the overlap to the Bottom Clearance for all drawers. This way the gap between the bottom of the drawer front to the bottom of the drawer base is the same for all drawers.

    The Include Drawer Front option can be selected in both the Global and the Cabinet settings.

    The Include Drawer Front option can be selected in both the Global and the Cabinet settings.

    The actual position of the drawer runner holes is then offset from this point as described in Machining Tables Explained. 

    Back Position for Premium Metal

    Includes TandemBox*/Innotech* / Grass* Drawers.

    BackPosition determines the position of the drawer back relative to the drawer base and is only used when the Runner Group is set to Premium Metal.

     

    Gaps: BackGapWidth, BaseGapWidth, BaseGapDepth

    BackGapWidth is the distance from the carcass end to the side of the back.

    BaseGapWidth is the distance from the carcass end to the side of the drawer base.

    BaseGapDepth is a shortening (or lengthening) of the drawer base.

    The diagram below shows three possibilities.

    1. With the back behind the base a positive value gives a gap between the back and base.
    2. With the back above the base a positive value leaves the back overhanging the base.
    3. With the back above the base a negative value extends the base beyond the back.

    FBaseGapDepth a similar option to BaseGapDepth, but for the front of the base (used with inner drawers).

     

    Gap is the distance from the carcass end to the side of the drawer box.

    With Standard Metal and Premium Metal it serves no real purpose apart from graphically showing a gap between the carcass and drawer.

    Sink Drawers

    The sizing of sink drawers can be set..

    • The Left (L) and Right (R) i.e. SinkWidth, are from the inside edge of the Carcass (and so includes the runner mechanism) to the edge of the central void (and so includes any inner drawer sides).

    • The Centre (C) void is between the mid drawer sides.

    • The Front (F) i.e. SinkDepth, is from the very front of the drawer box (including any front component) to the back of the mid back.
