Cabinet Vision 2025.2: What’s New and Why It Matters

Introduction

Hexagon Cabinet Vision v2025.2

Cabinet Vision 2025.2, released in August 2025, brings significant updates to design flexibility, machining efficiency, and custom scripting. This version builds on the improvements from 2025 and 2025.1, while introducing deeper parametric control and expanded S2M (Screen-to-Machine) functionality.

Here’s a breakdown of what Hexagon Cabinet Vision v2025.2 is:

---

Key Feature Updates

1. Door & Mullion Enhancements

• MDF doors can now be defined as standard doors through the Material Schedule.

• Tool sets can be assigned by door panel type, improving machining accuracy.

• Door Manager provides better utility at the assembly level.

• Mullion width for glass doors can be defined directly in the Section Editor, streamlining adjustments.

---

2. Expanded UCS (User Created Standards) with JavaScript

Cabinet Vision 2025.2 broadens parametric capabilities with new APIs, enabling more powerful and flexible scripting:

• _cvSystem, _cvMath, _cvString libraries introduced.

• Shape object methods: GetShape(), IsShaped(), SetShape() for improved geometry handling.

• More dynamic assembly, part, and machining customization via scripting.

This greatly benefits advanced users who rely on UCS automation for consistent workflows.

3. Screen-to-Machine (S2M) Improvements

• Optimizer Settings: “Optimizer Parameters Save” has been renamed to “Set As Machine Default” for clearer workflows.

• Offcut Visualization: Colored indicators, reminders, and disable options make it easier to track material use and minimize waste.

• Legacy Drill Optimization: Better support for multi-drill machines.

• Workflow Enhancements: More robust controls for dowel systems and integration with automated storage (e.g., Winstore).

---

Why It Matters

• For Designers: More precise door and mullion control reduces manual edits and increases accuracy.

• For Programmers: Expanded scripting APIs open new possibilities for automation and parametric design.

• For Manufacturers: Enhanced S2M and offcut tracking improve machine efficiency, reduce errors, and save material.
