Starter — Command Guide

Collects all board parts from the drawing and writes the material list file. Open the Excel companion workbook and click Import Parts to load the full cutting list with sizes and quantities.

Scans all VAS_ layers in the drawing and builds the complete hardware list. Open the Excel companion workbook and click Import Hardware to insert all items with quantities.

Select parts individually in any order — they are exported to the cutting list in exactly the order you picked them. For each part you can define its description, quantity, and edge banding, and choose whether the grain direction may be rotated during cutting optimization.

Assign individual edge banding to every edge of each part. Different edge materials and thicknesses can be mixed freely, while grain direction can be locked or rotated for cutting optimization. All settings are exported directly to the Excel worksheet.

Reads the bounding box of the selected solid — X, Y, and thickness — and copies the values to the clipboard.

Process every cabinet part in your drawing with a single command. No manual part selection is required. Parts on Hardware (VAS_) layers are ignored automatically, while every cabinet part is transferred individually to PP26, allowing you to define edge banding, grain direction, and other production settings before export.

Detects identical parts in your drawing based on both dimensions and hole patterns. When enabled, matching parts are grouped automatically and quantities are filled in. When disabled, every part is processed individually, allowing different settings for each part.

Detects left and right mirrored parts, such as cabinet side panels, door pairs, and other symmetrical components. Detection is based on both part dimensions and hole patterns, ensuring accurate recognition of mirrored parts. When enabled, mirrored parts are grouped automatically and quantities are filled in. When disabled, every part is processed individually, allowing different settings for each part.

Subtracts all $DIFF_ helper solids from the carcass using Boolean operations. Run this before exporting to ensure accurate geometry.

Subtracts all parts located on the specified layer from every intersecting part in the drawing. The source parts remain unchanged on their layer and are not removed. This command is ideal for creating back panel recesses, grooves, and other automatic cut-outs.

Reveals all hidden objects in the current drawing at once.
