Inserting Cabinets

All Vectorworks products include three types of common cabinets for inserting in a drawing file—base, wall, and utility cabinets. In the Vectorworks Fundamentals product, the cabinet objects are inserted from an object library through the Resource Manager. In the Vectorworks Design Series products, the cabinet objects are inserted with the various cabinet tools. Cabinet door and drawer handles are provided in the Vectorworks libraries; see Concept: Resource Libraries.

In addition to these common cabinet types, Vectorworks offers the flexibility of Creating Custom Cabinets.
