Do you need to have a PDF document of your job that you can email to your customer?

Putting your 3D View design on your Plan View and emailing it to your customer is a simple task and can be done with any level of CabMaster (3D, CL, Pro or Machining Premium).

Creating 3D & Placement on Plan

Once you have created your design in CabMaster,

• select View > 3D  and position the 3D display how you would like it to be seen by your customer;
• then click on the View > To Clipboard command button.

 

• Now select View > Plan and Paste (Ctrl+V) the 3D onto your plan.

A “negative” inverted large image showing your 3D view will appear on your Plan View.

Example

Resizing

Using the Shift+Left click key while dragging your mouse to resize a picture will force CabMaster to keep the picture in the same shape (also known as aspect ratio).

While holding down the Shift key on your keyboard...

• hold the left mouse button down with the cursor on the handle on the top left corner of the image;
• and drag it towards the bottom right corner of your screen to make the image smaller.
• when it has reached near the bottom corner of your screen, let go of your mouse button 

 

When it has reached near the bottom corner of your screen, let go of your mouse button, then click on the image and drag it back up towards the middle of your Plan View. Keep repeating this resizing step and/or use the arrows on your keyboard to move your image until it comfortably fits on your Plan View.

Result

In this example, an annotation (label) was added.
