Menu Section

Each Menu is designed to resemble other applications in Windows to be more familiar. The menu's are broken down as follows:

File

The File menu is used to close the application or to Import in drawings from Cabinet Solutions.

Import: If a drawing has been created or modified in the Designer and re-exported, the CNC Workshop does not need to be closed and re-opened to refresh the information. Import refreshes the program and displays the new changes made by the new import from Cabinet Solutions.
Exit: Closes the CNC Workshop.
