About

CABINET VISION makes it simple for furniture, woodworking, or casegood manufacturers of all sizes to play to their strengths, by using a single, fully modular software package to go from design to manufacture. With CABINET VISION you buy only the features you need. This allows you to evolve and grow your software usage in line with your business, making CABINET VISION highly scalable and cost-effective. Enhanced usability makes it even easier to visualise and efficiently perform a full range of tasks, while responding to changing design requirements, whether making high-end bespoke pieces or basic elements. Fast, practical and precise, CABINET VISION excels at rapidly and seamlessly converting designs into all the information you need on the factory floor to manage manufacturing process. And an intuitively simple parametric function means you can capitalise on previous bespoke designs by resizing elements without reprogramming.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing. It’s super expensive and I haven’t even been able to use it because they can’t figure out their post processor. I’ve called 3 times now to speak with someone in charge and never get transferred to anyone and have yet to get a call back. My company is losing money every day because of these guys and they don’t take it seriously. Seriously stay away from this software and company!
  • We have found nothing good about this programme. The idea is great but unfortunately it does not measure up.
  • The idea is great but the company is a failure at taking care of its customers. The moment you pay them a dime you become someone they extort money from you annually.
  • Creates parts for cabinet fabrication. - I don't have a lot of positive feedback for cabinet vision other than it creates parts of cabinet makers to assemble.
  • Cabinet Vision is incredibly productive if what you're building is basically one of a few standard designs where you're mostly just changing the dimensions and specifying standard features that come as a built-in part of CV. If you had a particular 15-cabinet job that was based entirely on a standard design, and your crew didn't need every little detail drawn out in meticulous blueprints in order to get it built, then you could draft that job, generate CNC and stop-saw files, print out your reports and drawings, and release it to the plant in literally 10 minutes. It is also fairly customizable, although that turns out to be a double-edged sword, as you'll read below.

Cons

  • They can’t seem to figure out their post processor correctly so I can Stuart use this extremely expensive software that I purchased over 7 months ago!
  • everything, no customer support, no adequate training, costs a fortune for a useless programme.
  • I would never recommend this company or its product.
  • - not designed for highly custom cabinets - setting up libraries and cabinet construction methods, etc. is not intuitive and causes frustration - live drawing feature doesn't work properly - AutoCAD has what we want - making submittal drawings (good ones that you can read) takes soooo much time - features of program do not work properly - support takes 2-3 days to respond - can't rely on user forum - I've had questions that never get answered - simple things like you can't import a SketchUp model using there "import SketchUp model" button - you'd have to call support for them to tell you to save your SketchUp file as version 8 - TONS OF STUFF LIKE THIS INSIDE THE PROGRAM - super expensive - they'll charge you every chance they get
  • If your designs are highly customized, or you frequently get requests for things that your CV setup can't easily handle more or less "out of the box", things go downhill fast. To customize your setup beyond the basics, you'll be messing with the internals of this thing, and those internals are mostly poorly designed and full of bugs. The parts of the app you use to do things like customizing your materials and construction standards vary in quality from "OK" to just barely usable on a good day, and there is a fair amount of old cruft in there of forms and input boxes from earlier releases that no longer seem to do anything. The way CV models cabinets is extensible through an unnamed scripting language that sort of resembles VBScript, except that it sucks even worse than actual VBScript. Its reporting system is similarly extensible via SQL and (genuine) VBScript. Again, the tools you are given (code editing panes and form design utilities) are packed with quirks, bugs, and basic usability issues (such as text input boxes that are ridiculously small), and these defects will wear you down through the course of a day. The feeling of frustration is increased by the fact that many of these issues are just really basic things that would be very easy to fix if Hexagon cared about this product. The help file contains enough information to get you sort of started, but it doesn't go into nearly enough detail for mastery. Much of the fundamentals about how CV "thinks" as it generates models is left as something for you to figure out through trial and error. And this is made harder that it should be by the fact that you often can't know whether something is going sideways because of your own mistake or because of one of CV's own countless "program issues". CV even stumps Hexagon's own tech support people from time to time. I was once on a call with them to try to figure out why my attempt to automate programming the CNC to add a 22.5-degree miter on the edge of a part wasn't working. Even they couldn't get to the bottom of this relatively simple task after two hours of trying. I had to resort to a clunky workaround—one of dozens or probably hundreds of such in my system. This package is basically a mess under the hood, and the result is that implementing your own CV customizations beyond a fairly simple level is a truly excruciating experience, even for people who have been using CV and programming other CAD/CAM systems for decades.
