BEFORE YOU START

Before You Start

This tutorial shows you how to create a sales project with the Project

module and how to design a simple kitchen with the Design program.

We hope that this first “tour” of the program helps you learn and

explore Version 6.1.

Here are a few points you need to know before you start this tutorial.

The SAMPLE_E catalog of Version 6.1 must be installed. If it isnot, insert the 20-20 Design Version 6.1 CD in your CD-ROM

drive, click on Install and Catalogs.

We suggest that you set your screen resolution at 1024 x 768, but

800 x 600 is acceptable.

Global Style

Version 6.1 now has generic catalogs that are “style-driven”. In short,

style-driven catalogs are catalogs that allow you to choose your

door/drawer/molding/pull/countertop style and/or color and/or finish

for your design in one dialog. Manufacturers establish the preset

components you can choose.

Here is a sample procedure to assign a global style to a design whenusing a style-driven catalog such as Style_E.

1. From the Menu Bar, click on Design, Global Style or click on the

icon. The Global Style Selections dialog appears.

field, scroll down if necessary and choose Flat panel Frame Door
