Cabinet tools provide access to a variety of standard configurations available from the Resource Manager, in addition to individual objects created using the tools. The tools can be used to create your own style resources (see Concept: Plug-in object styles). Cabinet door and drawer handles are provided in the Vectorworks libraries accessible through the Resource Manager.
In addition to these common cabinet types, Vectorworks offers the flexibility of creating custom cabinets (see Creating custom cabinets).
To insert a cabinet:
Click the tool and mode.
Do one of the following:
Click Active Def on the Tool bar to select a resource from the Resource Selector.
Click Preferences to open the object properties dialog box and specify the tool’s default parameters.
The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
Click on the drawing to place the object, and click again to set the rotation.
Optionally, create a style resource from the object (see Standard plug-in object styles with catalog options).
