CM-Cabinets Library User Guide
Trim Libraries are optionally installed CabMaster™ libraries containing manufacturer specific 'Trim' items such as Posts, Corbels etc. These can be priced and include additional Hardware and Labour just like other CabMaster™ elements. The pricing, hardware and labour is held in tables that are maintain through the Trim Library Manager interface.
The Trim Library Manager can be launched from the Pricing > Materials/Hardware page of the Catalog/Drawing Properties.
Pricing > Material/Hardware page - Click to Expand
Extra Notes on Catalog and Tables
Trim Library catalogs are locked and cannot be updated by users, therefore any associated pricing is held in external tables.
Several pricing tables can be associated with each library and used as appropriate. These files also hold Hardware and Labour selections that can accompany each item in the library.
