Just open the object in the library, go to 3D tab, rotate on the X axis (assuming X16) There are much easier ways to make custom door symbols, look around the forum.

I'm guessing you mean IRL? Thought that interesting problem for cabinets, still DB is correct for that method. If you were doing rails and stile construction, then it would be like making a door symbol from a cabinet. But if you are taking a sheet and placing solid stock on TOP of it to look like rails and stiles that is different. Attached plan-The one on left is how a door would be made. The next 3 are to have the rails and stiles proud of the panel. The 5th one is for it to be completely accurate and show the edge lines where they meet. murphy panel.zip

Using two cabinets and custom door symbols for the front corner cabinets you can make it look ok in 3D standard and PBR (note change reveal between those cabinets to zero). Hardware on corners placed manually/ For vector and elevation plot would need clean up lines in layout. Did not mess with the valance base but similar solution or solids.

I was working with a client using Mozaik and as far as we could tell dxf would only import individual shapes. They did not find a way to import a chief plan, full 3D or even an individual cabinet. Do you know otherwise from experience? If so I'd like to pass it on to them.

I fiddled a bit then took elevation, detail from view, got the silhouette and pasted in place, converted to solid, put on attic wall layer. Used scissor truss

Cabinet DBX, back, custom, side panel inset. Then select a door symbol. If you have a tambou door symbol use that for the side panel inset. IF you don't but have a material for the tambour then use a slab door symbol that is unique (save to user library with a different name-slab 1) IF neither and you need a tambour symbol I make them from moldings. If you need the back of the cabinet to be different than the inside face of the symbol then you need a symbol with two colors.

Mm, not necessarily...

I believe you mean the point markers. Don't use Point to Point dimensions. Read up on dimension defaults in the help (F1 key)

Are you sure about that? this is the only way I can automatically get the second label .

From help (F1 key) while in preferences...

I usually do it using the drop down for text style in ALDO.

In the object DBX, Options, sits on a base cabinet or table. OR in the general tab, finished floor to bottom. If the object is in your user library, you can change it before placing (maybe make a duplicate first. If not in user library place on the floor, open and change height off floor. IF the object you are trying to place in on has a higher bounding box than where you want it set (like a washing machine or stove with a head) and your object floats above it lower the object using tansform replicate, z axix OR you can't drag it in place when at correct height hold down the control key

You can use the match properties tool, ctrl+J on my system or this icon. Other Properties, Automatic description should do the trick.

There's an icon to change the CAD layer. I use that often to change the layer. My PVs are set to either Never Save or Prompt so the change can be temporary.

Yes there is. The method I use requires 4 custom cabinet door symbols per width or type of bead (1/2" round, 3/8"round, cove, etc) Then there is up cabinets. The main door and drawer styles can be changed leaving the beads alone. I offer plans and libraries for sale. 1/4 beaded, 16 cabinets 1/4" beaded for combined, 7 cabinets (which you need depends on how you order the cabinets- I need both) 3/8 beaded, 6 cabinets base only elite cove, 7cabinets beaded with chamfers, 19 cabinets A Library with 1/4, 3/8. and cove bead for all sides- and two types of chamfers. PM me if interested.
