    StoreMaster : Install Tables into CabMaster
    In This Topic

    This topic assumes that you have downloaded the tables from StoreMaster and have any required information e.g. for setting up the runner group.

    All that needs to be done now is to get the tables installed into the correct file locations and create runner group(s) so that you can use them.

    See StoreMaster : Download Tables if you need instructions on how to do this. For assistance, contact Support.

    The CM Table Installer will install the tables into the correct file locations for the CabMaster version you are using.

    Install Tables

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

     

    Remember that you can only install one .smz file at a time.

    When the installation has finished, the CMTableInstaller will display as completed and you can click Close.

     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.

     Watch the Video to learn more on adding new Material DataSources in CabMaster Software. (1:41mins) and/or the Webinar below.

    Catalog Properties

    You cannot edit the Catalog with more than one CabMaster 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 Expand

    Click to Expand

    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

    Click to Expand

    Click to Expand

    • 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.

    Example of Save Message

    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.
