Hardware
The Hardware page (sidebar) is the hardware library: hinges, dowels, confirmat screws, cam fittings, shelf pins, drawer slides. Joints in the editor take their drilling from the hardware — see Joints and hardware.
The list shows Hardware, Kind, the manufacturer and Packaging. Filter by name, SKU, manufacturer…, All kinds and All manufacturers narrow it; the Favorites tab shows the starred items.
Items marked System ship with the app. They can’t be changed — Edit a copy makes your own copy to work on.
