StoreMaster : Download and Install Tables

In This Topic

This guide will take you through the process of adding downloading tables from StoreMaster.

Watch the Video and/or follow the instructions provided here. For assistance, contact our CabMaster Support Team.

Installing the Tables will replace existing tables of the same name, not update existing tables.

In CabMaster Version 12.1 the process is streamlined, making it unnecessary to download the CMTableInstaller, which was only compatible for CabMaster Version11 (and up) and Windows 10 (and up). For assistance, contact our CabMaster Support Team.

Step 1: Accessing StoreMaster

Go to the Home tab and click on the StoreMaster command button, as shown.

Using this option allows you to directly download addons from within CabMasterPro, instead of having to download through our website.

Step 2: Download Tables

After clicking on the StoreMaster command button, you will also see available tables for download. Select the type of download required.

In this example, we have clicked on 'Materials'.

Clicking on any of these will turn the background of the image green, showing that is the option currently selected.

Once selected, press the Next button.

Step 3: Choose the Brand

For Materials and Drawer Runners, this next page will show you the list of brands that have items available for download.

Select brand e.g. Quantum Quartz and press Next

Step 4: Select Download Item

The next page will show you a list of all items that are available to download in your selected category and/or brand.

The Material table may also include a year, as shown. This means that the table will include materials available at the time of writing for that year.
In the drop list, select the item you want to download and press Next.

Step 5: Complete Download and Install

CabMasterPro will now install the files for you.

Be patient as it may take a minute or two to complete the process.

When complete, an informational dialog will confirm the completion status.

If there are any issues with the installation, it will advise you to contact CabMaster Support for assistance.

Materials

Materials DataSource Setup

Changes to the Materials DataSource need to be in the Catalog/Drawing Properties.

Remember that the Catalog Properties are the default settings applied to all future drawings but can be overridden by the Drawing Properties [F4].

If you make the following changes to the Catalog first and then create a new drawing, the changes will be automatically applied to the current drawing.

Catalog Properties

You cannot edit the Catalog with more than one CabMaster application is open. It is therefore recommended to close CabMaster on any other computers that are accessing the same file locations.

From the File menu select Prepare > Catalog Properties

Click to view the same changes in the Drawing Properties [F4]

If you wish to make the same changes in the Drawing Properties, then you can select File > Prepare > Drawing Properties.

Property pages are similar, except that the background colour for Catalog properties is pink and Drawing properties is light grey.

You will be presented with a warning message. Click OK.

Example of Warning Message

Go to My Setup > Materials DataSources page
- To 'Use', tick the check box and select the Materials required from the drop list.
  - Shown here, Quantum Quartz 2023 has been selected from the drop list and the Use checkbox has been enabled/ticked in the Catalog.
- Click Apply and OK.

Click to view the same changes to the Drawing Properties [F4]

Close CabMaster - you do not have to save the drawing.
- You will be asked to 'Save changes' to the catalog - click Yes.
- All future drawings will have these changes applied.

When you open new drawings, the new Materials will be available for use.

Drawing Properties

If you need to apply new Materials to an older/current drawing, then you will have to repeat the above in the Drawing Properties.

Drawers
