Hi folks !
I’m looking for software to design and present furniture, I’ve seen that Punch Software includes Cabinet Workshop in most of it’s architectural design software, but I don’t have a clue on what it would enable me to do. I’ve also seen stuff like Kitchen builder, it’s quite impressive, but way too expensive.
Is there anyone who knows about that kind of software and who could be of help in describing the capabilities of some of the products on the market ?

What exactly are you looking for with regards to the software?
Design only, for furniture only, or a complete package for cabinets too?
I'm in the midst of writing a cabinet software program called Cabinets Plus!
It won't be available until 1/1/04, but when it is it can be viewed at http://cabinets-plus.net which will be an active web site in a couple of days from now.
Cabinets plus! will have design capabilities, as well as accounting, and estimating, complete cut list with every conceivable part that goes into a cabinet, with every possible option, opening calculators for both the cabinet openings, and drawer bank openings, an advanced sheet goods optimizer with user interface, allowing the user to move the pieces around on the sheet. May be set up for metric, standard fractions, or decimal fractions, and may change back and forth from anywhere in the program. Program will draw a scale drawing of the cabinet to be built, with dimensions included. Either one cabinet, or an entire wall of cabinets, with appliance spaces, drawer banks, etc. All drawn on the screen and printable. Job estimating costs for materials and labor, and allot more. Plus since I'm just a cabinet maker, I plan on letting it go for dirt cheap, so keep checking the web site, it may be released sooner than anticipated.
But it seems you are looking for something else, if possible please list what you need, and maybe I can send you in the right direction.
Please put me on your email list. I am interested in your idea. Twenty seven years and I still do hand sketches. Mostly due to high cost of good design software.

Sure will jb, but I don't see your email address here at the web site. Can you email it to me. Send it to [email protected]
