The Additional Elements Manager of the Drawing Properties allows additional elements required in the overall cost of a job, such as electrians, plumbers etc., to be added with elements that can be individually assigned a price.

A Misc Addition or Misc Object can then be added to your CabMasterPro job/drawing to include these additional priced item/s.
