Creating A New Moulding Table

Rather than entering the moulding cost to calculate the price of the frame rim, a table of prices may be pre-defined in which each profile is assigned a name and price. The program then uses this table to look up the price for each moulding used.

To change to using the Table method for entering mouldings into EstLite, click on Options in the main screen, tick the Moulding Table box, and Save.

This method has the advantage of requiring that moulding chevrons need only carry an identifying name or number. The price code is not necessary as the program can look this up from the table.

If you choose to continue, you will be presented with a window where you can enter a list of moulding names, prices and quantities.

Alternatively, you can create and maintain a moulding list using a text editor such as Notepad, or spreadsheet such as Excel. The Moulding Table can be made up from as many moulding lists as you need. It is only necessary to drag each list on to EstLite's main window for them to be incorporated into the Moulding Table. Or it might be possible to directly download your suppliers moulding table from the Internet.
