Cabinet vision is a great program but can be intimidating to learn. My goal is to help people become more comfortable using it! In part 1, I go over the basics.
Not sure where to turn next as I have spent a couple of hours with a tech trying to solve but I installed 2023 update from v11 and now uniboard and prism texture packages will not work. Can’t find any answers or even info on where to purchase or download anything. I can download onto my computer and when I import them, says they imported but then not showing up anywhere. Very strange and tech says might be because advanced no longer will work? Doesn’t make sense because it’s the same package I’ve been using for over a year. Like the software but really tough finding answers so hoping maybe someone will see and know of a solution.
After you download the package you have to "install" it in Cabinet Vision. To do this you'll need to have all jobs closed and be at the beginning splash screen. At the top of the screen you'll see the "File, Main, and Utilities" tabs. Go to the "Utilities" Tab and click on "Setup Package", and the "Package" dialog box will appear. Click on the "Import" tab, then click on the "Open Folder" Icon. This should automatically be directed to your Download directory. If not, find your downloaded file from this window and select it, then click "Open" in the lower right corner. (The right side of the Package Window should now display the package you downloaded with check marks next to each new feature, along with a Green, Red, or Yellow button - the colored buttons are labeled just below as to what they mean. You can pick and choose what parts of the package you want to install from here.) For the most part, because this is probably a new package for you and you wouldn't already have it on your computer - don't worry about the "Add Prefix" button; in the "All Matches" box have the "Use Existing" button marked; leave the "Child Matches" area blank; and leave the "Toggle Overwrite" button alone. Click on the "Import Package" button. (You'll see a progress bar at the top right of the screen indicate that it is installing your package, and an "Import Complete" box will appear when it is finished.) Click "OK" on the Import Complete box, close out of that box, and you're all set. You're package should be ready to use.
Re-reading your question here, it looks like this issue MIGHT be a bug with v2023.(?), like your tech indicated. At first glance I thought you were talking about installing a typical package, but now I think you're talking about upgrading from v11 to 2023 where something broke. Upgrading from v11 to v2023.1 and/or 2023.2 can be a good upgrade. There are many new features, but also a few bugs. I would NOT recommend upgrading any further until v2024.1 comes out. The last versions 2023.3 and 2023.4 make the program VERY SLOW, and added a number of other bugs. They know about these and have the 2024.1 version in Beta now. It's running late for release, but better that than another broken version. From the Beta testers responses so far, things are fixed and it's looking better.
@@BillM61440 Sorry but I have to step in here. 2023.4 is not "slow" it was all caused by a microsoft update to the Access database engine 2010x32 and 2016x64 the slow issue is very solvable by tech support
I believe your answer is this one. "What is happening is when you import the textures, they are being placed the CV 2023\Database\Graphics folder, and they should be placed in the Common 2023\Database\Graphics folder. You can navigate to the first folder, copy the thumbnails, and paste them into the correct target directory. "
Hi, the CV is great if you have to do a lot of standard cabinets, but can it be used to make a one off custom cabinet where every part is placed manually? After reading all the manuals and watching all the videos available, the answer is still not clear. For example, I have an empty base cabinet and I placed the left end and a door - hinges are not automatically added, and there seems to be no way of adding them manually using menus and dialogs. Is it possible at all? Thank you.
The answer to your question is yes you can absolutely place every part manually if you wish. you can hide all the parts in a cabinet and start from scratch or hide just certain parts and manually add others.
Nice! Thanks for putting this out there!
Thanks I really appreciate the comment!
Subscribed! Looking forward to more Cabinet Vision Tutorials 😊
flutes are just lines in the panel evenly spaced. usually using a miter miter bit 1/8" depth into your panel. just for looks mostly
Thanks a lot for this video, it really helps a lot, I'm looking forward to the next one!
Thanks I appreciate it! Life has been very busy lately, but I will definitely get some more videos uploaded soon.
