Cabinet Vision AMA 4 (Reports Part 3 of 3) -- 1-13-23

In this video I share some of my most commonly used Combit functions along with brief explanations of why I use them or why you might care to.

Thanks to one of the attendees asking questions during the stream we ended up working through a somewhat interesting and fun exercise extracting information about a material's thickness (0750) from a string, converting it to a fraction with 1/16" precision, and replacing the original abbreviated material name with one a little easier to understand if you aren't in our industry.

Link to the supporting PDF document mentioned in the introduction: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1amJf... Please feel free to share this document as you see fit, my only request is that you don't edit/remove my information in case someone has questions and would like to reach me.
