Design Improvement – Cabinet Design Software
When designing assemblies it is helpful to know the location and size of different boards. SketchList 3D has several ways of showing the locations and sizes. One is in the assembly spreadsheet and another is in the board form. These both show the location of the opposing edges of a board (e.g. left and right edges) and the size (e.g. width). Because cabinet design software is so visual at times, we have a third place to see the location and size of the board – numerically speaking. That third place is right on the two dimensional images of the design.
This video shows how to use the show dim feature – under the button in each 2D image area in the main screen of SketchList 3D. This was woodworkers can see where and how large a board is within the design area.

My woodworking love started in 6th grade in school shop class. I have a BS in Industrial Technology and an MBA. At my first job, I computerized a production accounting system – the results were positive, and I loved the challenges. I left the corporate world to begin woodworking full time and one of my first decisions was to use CAD for my designs. I found that CAD did not meet all my needs. I wrote a specification of what I wanted and turned it into a prototype. SketchList 3D incorporated in 2007. We completed programming and launched. Today thousands of woodworkers use SketchList 3D.
