The Essential Kitchen EU Tab

Currently, there are five tools in this component tab: Picklist, Project Info, Price Calculation, Clear Cache pictures and Sort position numbers.

Picklist

This tool allows you to manually add a product to the project without adding actual symbols into the drawing. The product is reflected in Calculations. The tool is nice to use if, for example, the customer wants to buy extra of something, maybe cabinets for the basement as storage and you don’t have that space on your CAD plan.

1. Left-click on the Picklist icon and drag out to 2D drawing area. Left-click to place.
2. Double click on Picklist. The Ess Kitchen Catalouge Explorer dialog opens.
3. Change name on Picklist from the rename button.
4. Select component from the folders and from the right select the component.
5. Click on the green plus icon to add component to list. Repeat step 4 and 5 it you like to add more.
6. Select the row in the article list and update the quantity with the green + or - buttons at the bottom of the dialog if needed (or remove article from list with the red X button).
7. Close dialog when finished. You can double click on picklist and repeat step 2-6 if you like to add more components.

Project Info

The Project Info tool inside the Essential Kitchen EU Extension contains Customer, Delivery and Sales account/contact information. This information can be created, imported, and saved for use with the Kitchen Reports in Paper View. 

To get started, you will either enter in the account/contact information in the appropriate fields or import an already saved one.

• New will create a new contact card. It will also clear the text fields.
• Open will load a contact card.
• Save As will save a new or updated contact card.

Once the information has been added or opened, click Apply to return to the drawing.

Price Calculation

The Price Calculation tool permits users to adjust pricing based on categories to fine tune pricing and margin values. The categories allow users to select specific value for Price Factors rather than entering specific discount per item.

Clear Cached Images

Clear Cached Images tool will delete or remove stored image files that CET has saved to free up storage space, potentially help resolve display issues, or improve performance by reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed upon opening a drawing.  

Sort Position numbers

When you place cabinets in the drawing they will get numbered. If you rearrange, add or delete cabinets you can sort the numbers to be in correct order again with this tool. The number will also show in front of the article in the Description column in Calculations.
