A Properties Sidebar can be enabled for all cabinets and other items, allowing you to make minor modifications quickly to dimensions as well as position and angle on the plan, without opening the Cabinet or Item properties.

Use the Properties Sidebar command button, shown left, on the Home ribbon tab to turn On/Off.

Cabinet vs Page

The Cabinet buttons move directionally relative to the Cabinet Front. The Page buttons move north, south, east and west relative to page.

Adjust Position

The Move Cabinet module lets you move the selected cabinet by a specific amount and is used in conjunction with the directional arrow Cabinet/Page buttons. These functions, whether in Cabinet or Page mode, work in the same way as using the Movement commands on the Insert tab of the CabMaster ribbon menu.

The following example shows two cabinets placed together on the plan.

We now select and move the 'Floor 2 Door' to the right by :-

1. entering the 'Distance' of 500mm in the edit box;
2. then click on the arrow to move, as shown.
