Note:  If you are a cabinet maker who makes his/her own doors then Cabinet Pro is the program you should be investigating.  Cabinet Pro allows the making of doors and cabinets.  Door Pro is specifically for those shops that make and sell doors - without cabinets - to other cabinet shops.  If you are a cabinet shop that also makes doors for other cabinet makers, then you may want to purchase both Cabinet Pro and Door Pro.

Door Pro, software for the Manufacturer of Cabinet Doors for other cabinet shops, produces numerous reports such as job costing, bids, confirmation reports, invoices, contracts, unlimited user-defined cutlists and panel optimization.  Data Entry allows change of door style per door, change of frame and panel material per door, construction comments per door, multiple sorting of doors in job by style, material, height, and width, and alteration of construction methods per door. If you would like to see a comparison of features of all programs, see Program Comparison.

  Supports all drawer styles and allows user-defined door style library.
  Can switch between millimeters and inches at virtually any time.
  You may create your own parts and/or use the parameter-generated parts.
  Each door entry can have its own material, style and manufacturing definitions.
  Dimensioned drawing of each door.
  Up to three different sized panels per door.
  Multiple inside rails and stiles.
  Control over all parts, insets, etc. per door.
  Export Cutlists reports to Microsoft Excel, or to the internal Word Processor.
  At the press of a key, convert the entire program into Spanish, Italian, German, French (Canada), English (Australia), English (Canada), English (UK), or English (USA)

The CNC Operation, as processed by Door Pro

When Door Pro produces a cutlist, the panels are simultaneously sent to the Panel Optimizer which produces the G-Code Code behind the scenes to operate your CNC router.  The Cuts that are made automatically, depending upon your setup, are as follows:

  Straight Dado cuts of any width and depth
  Dado may be cut at any angle with any corner of the part being the reference point
  Drilling patterns where the holes can be of any diameter and depth
  Circular plowing cuts, which are essentially holes larger than the bit's diameter
  Arcs defined by two end points and an arc height
  Profile Cut where each part is cut.
 

In addition,
  All cuts and drilled holes may be referenced from any corner of each part
  Each cut and drilled hole may be defined as inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, or meters.
  Each router bit may be defined as inches, feet, yards, millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, or meters.
  Door Pro CNC  software supports routers equipped with a tool changer.
  Door Pro CNC allows all dado cuts and drilled holes, regardless of diameter, width of cut, or depth of cut, to be made from the same bit!  
  The only operations Door Pro CNC software will allow are those needed by Door manufacturers, such as dado and rabbet cuts, drilled hole patterns, plowed holes larger than the diameter of a given bit, arc cuts, and profile cuts (cutting out the part itself).
  Each cutting or drilling operation must be defined per door style.  Defining the operations once for a given door style, for example, will be defined for all doors of that door style, regardless of width and height.

Limitations of Door Pro CNC Software,
  Door Pro CNC  software will not generate code that is useful in the making of exotic signs, or 3D objects, such as moldings, table legs, etc.  Door Pro CNC is designed for cuts that are used exclusively by the Door manufacturer.  These include dado cuts, rabbet cuts, drilled holes, bored holes, and arc cuts.
  Door Pro CNC  software will make raised panel MDF doors based only upon the tool (bit) that is being used to shape the raised panel profile.
