Overview of Custom Calculators

Overview of Custom Calculators

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Custom Calculators feature.

This tool allows you to quickly and accurately calculate the widths that are within your products or subassemblies, such as bay openings or drawer fronts.

How to Access

To access the Calculator, open the Product Prompts for the cabinet you are working with and right-click in the open space within the interface. You can also access the Calculator from the drop-down menu in the upper left-hand corner of the interface. 

By default, the calculator will use the number of bays or drawer fronts you have on the product to create equal dimensions between them. If you want to change the dimensions, select the bay or drawer front you want to change and type the desired width. Then, check the "Equal" box for the remaining bays or drawer fronts and select "Calculate" in the lower left corner. Select OK once the calculation has been performed, and OK again in the Product Prompts to redraw the product with the new dimensions.
