Second lesson:

• Using the automatic cabinet editor
• Structure of the automatic cabinet editor
• Providing data necessary for identifying furniture
• Selecting groups and types necessary for identification
• Structure of furniture names
• Importance of automatic naming in speeding up the work
• Setting initial dimensions and starting position
• Choosing between fixed and size system links
• Setting dynamic size limits and their importance
• Setting the fronts and interior of the corpus with the selected options
• Importance of size system links in determining dimensions
• Fixing certain fitting planes to fixed heights
• Editing automatic cabinet types
• Editing notes and setting abbreviations
  
  

Third lesson:

• Further processing of furniture created in the automatic cabinet editor for use
• Opening the completed furniture in the furniture database
• Setting the type, orientation, and application of the furniture to make it insertable and resizable
• Setting whether it should appear in the list, in the quote, and be suitable for production preparation
• Fine-tuning the previously set dimensions in the dimensions and positions menu, adjusting the starting position, starting size, or dynamic size, always updating by clicking the modify button
• In the attachments tab, adding elements that complement the furniture, such as countertops, legs, cornices, pillars, etc.
• Copying attachments from similar category or style furniture to the newly created furniture
• Setting the pricing of the furniture; for customized panels, setting production cost calculations, and for modular furniture or piece-priced products, setting price categories or fixed prices

• Setting size filters
• Creating sub-elements and linking them to fictional elements
• Setting positions and sizes of sub-elements using either fixed or calculation table with size links
• Considering the place of basic elements in future furniture during design
• Detailed setting of the calculation table
• Creating one or two trial basic elements with all settings
  
  

Fifth lesson:

• Building new furniture using the previously created basic elements in the cabinet editor
• Setting positions of basic elements using either fixed or dynamic sizes, or dividing and assembling planes
• Setting the mobility of fronts and drawers
• Choosing front styles and setting handle positions
• Setting colors
• Setting edge closures
• Placing dimension lines that will appear on the workshop drawing
• Saving the completed furniture in the selected group
