Global Style
Version 6.1 now has generic catalogs that are style-driven. In short, style-driven catalogs are catalogs that allow you to choose your door/drawer/molding/pull/countertop style and/or color and/or finish for your design in one dialog. Manufacturers establish the preset components you can choose. Here is a sample procedure to assign a global style to a design when using a style-driven catalog such as Style_E. 1. From the Menu Bar, click on Design, Global Style or click on the icon. The Global Style Selections dialog appears.
