To get the list of details create order (if it is a new order), add a new item to the order. Then choose “IMPORT FROM AUTOCAD” in menu “DATA”. After that the list of details furniture consists of will be displayed in the main program window.

During arrangement of the list you can (optional) mark which ends of detail are covered with band, and what band is used, flat detail is made of. You can either choose direction of detail texture or you can choose automatic direction of texture. In automatic setting of texture:
-direction “upwards-downwards” is set for vertical details;
-direction “to the left-to the right” is set for horizontal details;

In settings of Mini-Furniture you can set filter which will remove the following details from the list:
-small details (e.g., handles and other different accessories);
-details of certain thickness (e.g., 28 mm for kitchenboard or 4 and 5 mm for glass).
-details with thickness less than X and more than Y.

List of details received through Mini-Furniture can be edited. You can also look through statistics of sheet material and band by orders or by items. Not to get mixed up in numbers of details Mini-Furniture allows simultaneous red highlighting of individual position in AutoCAD.
