Shaker Doors and using Customised Tables

In This Topic

To use customised machining tables for doors, you first need to make sure that your customised Shaker tables are located in the correct location for CabMaster to read the System Tables.

Tables need to be in <your CabMaster folder>\Table\Machining\Custom\System\Dor folder, as shown.

Click to view old location of Shaker tables

Shaker tables in previous versions were located in the ...\Custom\System\Doors\Shaker folder (click on image above). If required, you can simply copy and paste required files from the old location to new location.

Enable System Tables

Drawing Properties

As the door is now not using our Shaker profiles, you will need to let the System Tables turn on instead.

Step 1

On the DoorMaster LT > Profile Doors page, you will need to deactivate/turn Off Machining of the Shaker Doors existing area, as shown.

Click to Expand

Step 2

Then select the System Tables for the drawing on the Mach.Parts > System Tables page of the Catalog/Drawing Properties.

Custom machining tables can be defined for the entire drawing (as opposed to the normal custom tables that are selected by part of each cabinet). You can do this at the Catalog level to make this change for every new drawing.

Use the radio button to turn on Door, as shown, and select the required System Tables using the drop list.

If the tables required are not in the correct location, as discussed above, they will not be available for selection in the drop list.

Cabinet Properties

System Tables can be turned on/off at cabinet level. Do this by...

clicking on the Cabinet Information button on the General Settings page of the required cabinet;
- this will open the Local Properties dialog.
navigate to the Machining page which will reflect the Drawing Properties settings;
- in this example, Dor1 was turned on i.e. Enable is ticked, as per Step 2 above, but you can uncheck/turn off this for the individual cabinet.

The Reset button will revert any changes made, back to the Drawing Properties settings.
