Dashboard

Overview

The Dashboard gives you access to several items:

• Exports for manufacturing your model
• Exports for preparing your hardware requirements
• Access to the CabinetSense Subscription Service
• signing in and out of your account.

Destination Folder:

This is where CabinetSense will store your exported data. There are two ways of using this field:

• explicit declaration: Your output will be stored in the folder that you have entered. If the folder does not exist, CabinetSense will create it for you or provide a reason why it can't.
• inferred: You can also leave this field empty and CabinetSense will store your exports in the folder that contains your model. Please note that CabinetSense will not allow you to export an untitled model with this option.

When you run an export, it will create a parent folder to contain all of your exported data. This folder uses the following naming convention:

• Model Name
• Description (see below)
• time-stamp: this uniquely identities different exports of the same model. CabinetSense will never overwrite an existing export, but rather create an entirely new export folder for you.

Description

If you enter a description, it will be added to the export folder name

Cutlist Export

check this when you want a cutlist to use in a 3rd party cutlist program or if you want to view the results in a spreadsheet.

Note: This option is only available if you have subscribed to a cutlist-enabled version of CabinetSense

Cutlist Plus Integration

CabinetSense creates a file designed specifically for use with Cutlist Plus and will have a .csclp file extension. This file can be opened directly within Cutlist Plus instead of using the File>Import option.

Cutlist Plus (v12.5.1 or later) can now also import the DXF created from CabinetSense and generate sheet optimized DXF for you.

CNC Machining

Check this when you want to export your model in DXF format for use in a 3rd party CNC software program.

Note: This option is only available if you have subscribed to the CNC version of CabinetSense.

Bill of Materials

This export will provide you with information on cabinet sizes, door and drawer fronts, drawer box, drawer slide and handle/know quantities. It also provides molding information (molding name, length, quantity) for all moldings drawn with Profile Builder.

In addition, requesting the CNC Machining export will provide you with the following information:

• Shelf Pins
• Drawer Spacers
• Hinge Clips
• Containers (CabinetSense Connector Components are now added in the same manner as a cabinet. This allows you to track custom made trays, pullouts and other plug and play type artifacts.
• Mechanical Fasteners: Dowels, Screws, Rafix, OVVO and all other defined types of joinery.
• Machining: the following CNC Machinig information is added:
  • Drillpoints: the number of holes by hole diameter
  • Dado: Dado tongue and groove operations
  • Door Profiles
  • Cutter Box
  • Cutter Circle
  • Pilaster
• Applicance Fasteners: Each fastener used for a hinge, hinge clip, slide, metal drawer system is reported as a screw. (as this point, CabinetSense does not have the required information to know what kind of fastener is actually being used in this case, or whether the fastener is part of the appliance).

NOTE: machining and fastener information are not reported for parts that you buy (IE door, drawer fronts or drawer boxes).
