Catalog; then drag-and-drop them into
your drawing.
Custom Catalogs
Eliminate duplicate work and reduce
errors by pulling standards from userdefined Custom Catalogs.
CAP AutoConnectors™
Save time and reduce errors by
automatically placing panel connectors
and end trim. Automates “rules-based”
placement and tracking of panel
connectors, covers and caps for many
furniture lines.
CAPAutoBracketry™

inserts all required mounting bracketry
and leg columns into a drawing.
CAP Frame Validation™ Tool
Identifies common problems with panels
or frames and their connectors, e.g.,
mirrored, duplicated or overlaid frames.
Options in the Drawing
Specify individual CAP parts within a
drawing when it saves time or when
needed. Capture critical options in the
drawing like panel tiles, schemes and
finishes.
Block Preview Window
Preview a plan-view or 3D symbol of your
selected item before it goes into your
drawing.
Multiple Graphics Support
When a single part number may be
represented by many different possible
graphics, CAP Studio automatically

drawing.
Metric Functionality
Recognizes drawings and symbols constructed in
metric measurements and correctly calculates
the scale.
CAPTile™
Tag frames with a Tile Configuration name,
insert graphic blocks of the front and back
elevations, and update elevations. Output
