Saving Templates

In This Topic

I saved a drawing as a template, but when I go to apply a template it isn't there

For CabMasterPro to detect your drawing as a template, it must be saved with a file extension of "QIT", and be stored in the Templates folder.

Where and How to Save a Template

A template is simply a pre-saved drawing that can be used to base new drawings on.

Start a new drawing with NO library by selecting "<none>" and then include everything that you want to be part of the template then Save As a templete. To do this...

Select the Template folder.
- The Folder Up arrow (shown) can be used to move up one directory at a time to aid in locating the correct folder.
Ensure that the Save as type is "Templates (*.QIT)" - select from drop list.
Enter a File name for the template and click Save button - as shown, this file will be included in the Create from template dialog when you open a new drawing.
- You can apply a template in an existing drawing from the File menu i.e. Prepare > Apply Templates

Exact File Locations, including your "Template" folder, can be found using the File > Options [F10] dialog. In these examples, it is assumed you have left the templates folder as the default setting i.e. "C:\AllMasterSoftware\CabMasterPro\Template".

Renumbering Issue

Issue: Cabinet Items are not starting at "1" when placed on plan.

To fix an existing template, you can start a blank drawing with no cabinets.

Start a new drawing with NO library by selecting "<none>".

Select the existing template that you want to fix - in this example, CabMasterV10_1

Then use the Renumber All Items command on the Insert ribbon.

Finally, resave the template (select the existing template that you wish to replace).

Exit the application and you will be presented with a prompt to confirm that you want to save changes to existing template.

When you open a new drawing and apply the template, numbering of cabinets placed will start at 1.
