    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.

    How to correctly save a template

    To do this, Open and Save the drawing that you want available as a template...

    1. Select the Template folder.
      • The Folder Up arrow can be used to move up one directory at a time to aid in locating the correct folder (see note below).
    2. Ensure that the "Save as type" is "Templates (*.QIT)".
    3. Enter a File name for the template and click Save.

      Saving Template

    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".

     

    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, use the Renumber All Items command on the Insert ribbon and then resave the template, in the same way as discussed above (except that you select the existing template that you wish to replace).

    How to correct renumbering on existing template

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

      Example

    2. Select the existing template that you want to fix and resave.
      • In this example, CabMasterV10_1

    3. Now click on the Renumber All Items  command on the Insert ribbon.

    4. Resave your existing template.
      • In this example, existing template CabMasterV10_1
    5. 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.
