This module requires more point selections on the drawing originally, but the user is then brought back to the menu to make minor changes to insert additional hinges or hinge plates with a single reference point in subsequent applications as long as the same door and surface are used.

    Please note that the user can select the orientation of the hinge plates, and choose any combination of hinge plate holes, hinge holes, and hinge fastener holes. Even though all holes may not be selected, all reference points on the drawing must be selected. A special feature has been added that may seem a bit odd at first. The program will ask for the upper edge of the face and then the furthest extent of the edge. The reason for this is that AutoCAD will select the flat face, but if the front edge of the face has a bullnose edge or other type of edge besides square, the program needs to know that. If you have a straight edge, just click the same point again. This also is true for the door. If the edge on the door is not square the program needs to know that, again if it is, check the same point twice. This allows the user to put a solid wood edge on the door, and then bore the door on a hinge insertion machine, drill press or CNC machine. Even if you buy out your doors, this will tell you where they need to be bored when you get them. Standard boring patterns have been supplied, but each manufacture has wide range of door tabs so please make sure you double-check the hinge manufactures specifications. A mock up is suggested originally before that preset should be used on a regular basis. When using the program, please make sure to read all the prompts as they can sometimes change depending upon any previous machining that has been done on the part.
