Then just look up prices in the brands PDF catalog.
Get all info into the spreadsheet template Then just uUse the schedule, copy, paste special method to enter into that sheet (or drag and drop if you can't figure out paste special) Set up a spreadsheet template to look like the companies order form-include formulas to multiply price per quantity and to total columns across sheets. I first used this method when I was using 2020 for a brand that had an awful online system and where I could not trust 2020's pricing. I should mention an alternative that I've used with a brand that does not support 2020 and doesn't have an online ordering system. I had one hi-end brand who's on line system was more complicated where this did not work as well but then again they stopped supporting 2020 years ago.Įasily price out cabinets in 2020 after designing in chief architec Once you have cabinet libraries set up getting the pricing is very quick I could move a typical kitchen from Chief to an on line ordering system in between 15 minutes and half an hour. I can design faster, better, more accurately, with far better finished drawings and renderings in Chief than in 2020. IF your brand has an online ordering system AND that system supports drag and drop (most do) you can use the same method to enter into that which is far more accurate and saves a step in the long run.Īll this may sound a bit daunting but to encourage you. Few years ago and I'm not much for doing vids so YMMV but worth a look.įinally- I said that I rarely used 2020 for pricing.
In at least one of the posts I made in the past there is a video on doing this. Some things you just have to add manually or go through some other hoops -i.e modlings don't appear in schedules in a format that works (solution is a longer story-for now figure it out and add them) Editing quantities in the item list is easy enough so do that there rather than trying to move it over

If you have mods in columns you can crag those onto the selected cabinet. Place the spreadsheet either on a separate monitor or on right side of your screen, and 2020 on the primary monitor or the Left side of the screen.Ĭlick a cell in the spreadsheet to highlight the label, drag over to the item list- Not the plan view-2020 will look up the price if you have the correct nomenclature IF it is off it won't. Open an "Item list" (having set all your design pricing parameters already) NOTE you can use a simpler version and just grab the labels without the mods-that makes pasting a no brainer.

It will take a bit of fiddling to figure out how best to use paste special in the spread sheet-there are posts by me back a ways in either Tips or Symbols on how to set that up. Go back to Chief and Undo to restore all fields. Go to a spreadsheet and use paste special. Typically you end up with number, label, mod, side finish (use a custom OIP for that), sometimes hinge though I rarely use that.Īfter removing un-needed fields select the schedule, copy. Go to the schedule and remove all the columns that are not needed. When it comes time to use the info in 2020: Use a cabinet schedule kept in a CAD detail (not in the plan) with appropriate columns to be printed.
(Better to have an extra than to miss one, faster to delete than type)
I just go around and delete it where not needed.

So every cabinet in my library includes that mod for BOTH sides of the cabinet. For instance I always use Flush Finished sides on exposed ends. Ovens, large drawer bases with mods, etc are set to the narrowest size I commonly use.įor those cabinets where I typically have modifications I include those in Custom Object Information fields.įor any mods that are common to ANY cabinet those are also in the OIP field and deleted if not needed. I set many at 15" wide since I rarely use anything narrower. Just the most common and time consuming to configure-drawer bases, trash PO, other PO, micro cabinet, oven, fridge cabinet, side & end panels, oven cabinets, pantries, sink bases. Nor does it need to include the entire catalog. Your library of cabinets does not need to include every size if you set the labels to read the cabinet sizes with built in macros. You could also use drag and drop from the library if you prefer, just a bit more time consuming (I use hotkeys for the generic cabinets. Then used "replace B 16 1/2from library" to place the brand specific cabinets. I would design with the generic cabinets from the build menu to get sizes only. Have a library of cabinets for each brand that used the correct nomenclature. I used 2020 for pricing, which was pretty rare.
