Let's say you buy plywood from several different vendors. And of course, vendor A has a different price for that material than does vendor B or vendor C for that matter. How can we make sure we have the right price AND vendor for this plywood.

In this A Cabinet Vision Minute, Bruce peels pack the vendor/price onion.

Assign Finger Pulls to Door Edges | CABINET VISION 2021

Assign Finger Pulls to Door Edges | CABINET VISION 2021 Bruce Chezem Fri, 03/04/2022 - 16:54

Firstly, you need to have a Finger Pull “material” or “profile”, set up in the Material Manager. This can be created in the same manner as a new handle has ALWAYS been created in CABINET VISION, but the available options will be more relevant to Finger Pull handles specifically.

Then, to use the pull in a job, it must be assigned via a Material Schedule, so we need to create a new Pull Schedule as well. And finally, a Door Style needs to be set up with edging that has been modified to suit the use of a finger pull. So you need to remove the top edge of the door and instead assign a finger pull to that edge. Now to bring it all together in a job, you need to select the Handle Schedule on the hardware tab, then the DOOR from the door tab. Additionally, you have the flexibility to change the door edges on a cabinet within a job, for any custom designs.

cabinet vision training

Do you offer online CV traing via team viewer? I'm new to using CV and so far have only used it for cabinets. Waht I am interested in is experimenting with it for interior passage doors. I'm guessing it would not be too difficult to convert a box into a door jamb by removing the back, turining the material into solid wood and adding a rabbit joint where the top joins the sides fo rthe head. As far as the doors goes I'm guessing I can make it 1.75" thick in the materials editor. I have not forund a 4" x 4" barrel hinge option and did not know if it is easy to create one of down load one already made. If you think this is all possible and can do the training online pleas call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX Thanks, david

Cabinet Vision Training

Hi David,

Yes, we're all about training meant to help you become more productive not only with Cabinet Vision itself but also with all the work processes in and around Cabinet Vision.

For example, we'll help you to organize your material manager and materials schedule...not only to make selections more efficient but also to help your purchasing department to order the proper and intended materials for a given job or batch of jobs.

We also have developed some incredible data add-ons for Cabinet Vision such as the Cost-Plus Bid Center. The Cost-Plus Bid Center gives you the ability to create complete and accurate bids without having to draw a single wall or cabinet. I know, right? It sounds too good to be true.

Also, I'm putting together a Patreon page. There you can watch topical Cabinet Vision videos and other useful content to help you become more efficient and productive with Cabinet Vision.

Best,

Bruce

update old job after modify materials

I have an important question that I have not been able to find the answer to. After creating a new material and making changes to the Material Schedule, I went back to the previous projects. I noticed that the previous projects do not accept these changes. For example, the material that I just deleted and does not exist at all, is still being modified in my cabinet. It seems that the changes made in the previous projects are not being applied. How do I fix this problem?

Materials still showing up in old job

A couple of things....

It sounds like you need to run the Update Job utility. From the main menu, under the Utilities tab, select Update Job. Check the box for materials. It most cases, that'll correct the materials problem you described.

The other thing is more of a suggestion than anything else. I don't recommend deleting materials ( or deleting anything for that matter ) in Cabinet Vision. Instead, I recommend just placing them "out of service" by renaming the material ( or whatever ) by placing an "x" in front of the old name. For example, 3/4 Apple Ply becomes x3/4 Apple Ply. By doing that, it gets sent to the "bottom of the list" but still retains any otherwise useful information about that now out of service material.

In this video I go over how to create a Puck Light Part/Material combo to easily place puck lights, get CNC information, and even get a count of puck lights that I need (with purchasing information and everything)

In this A Cabinet Vision Minute episode, I walk through the process of linking together panel stock of the same "class" of materials... also known as Aliases. In other words, I'll show you how to get Cabinet Vision to automatically select the right panel stock size for parts too big to fit on standard size sheet goods.

Did you see what I did up there? Also known as Aliases. I'm tellin' you, that's some clever writing right there!

Enjoy!
