To contributor J: I am just using Home Designer Pro and I don't know of a way to get 2-D wall dimensioned elevations. Is this the same program you are talking about? The Turbocad I saw at Staples was under $100. I do take the cabinets to the line drawing editor to get measurements for each cabinet.

I currently go from graph paper break cabinets down to each individual cabinet then make them in cabinet editor, then make the room and place the cabinets in the room. I too would like to see shop drawings as well.Īs far as I know you can't do that with e-Cabs. My customer saw a drawing in 20/20 and just wanted to see the measurements of each cabinet. I know Contributor K does a wonderful job in e-Cabs but that would take me forever just to get close. Most answers are handled right away over the phone. I do not know the cost today, but i designed my first kitchen within hours hours of owning the program and they are great people to deal with. You can also lease the program for a monthly fee. I have been using it for years since it first came out. You can buy the designer program only from KCDw. It will do all the drawings and presentations you need, you just can't print them but you can draw frameless or faceframe and set all your own standards. KCDW is available as a trial version for $50 I believe. Will the Better Homes and Gardens do a 2-D face on elevation with height and width dimensions? When I got started in 93 my father gave me Chief Architect and it was limited then. If you want easy to learn CAD I would suggest looking at DeltaCad or Punch ViaCad. With TurboCad you can draw anything but you have to draw every line, just as you would with a pencil.

Only the full blown Chief Architect will let you get anywhere near the 3D quality of e-Cabinets though. They are based on Chief Architect and even the low end programs will layout a room and let you add cabinets. There is nothing better for creating customer layouts than e-Cabinets but you might want to look into some of the Better Homes and Gardens design software. I am not an expert, and I do not know what you are trying to do, but I don’t think you are looking for a straight CAD program, that in itself is a large learning curve and not cabinet specific.

I can’t imagine any software being easier if your just looking for presentations and dimensions. In all respect, what is it exactly that you are trying to draw in e-Cabs that is frustrating you? I was up and running after one weekend well enough to produce basic layouts with dimensions. I know there are programs such as KCDW and others but I don't have a CNC and don't need that much of a program. I spent years learning the software and still don't know all of the ins and outs. Is this any good? All I need is to see the kitchen layout with dimensions, same as when I draw a kitchen on graph paper to scale. I was just in Staples and saw a cheap CAD software program that was called TurboCAD for under $100. If I don't need cutlists and so forth what other programs could I use that will not break the bank. I have a pretty good sized job coming up where I used eCabinets and keep running into small issues that seem to take forever to resolve and I don't have the time. I have been using eCabs for awhile now and mostly use it for design and certain other uses.
