Displaying Pallet Dimensions

In this example, we explain the Quick Pallet Maker feature for displaying the dimensions of the pallet on top of the drawing. These dimensions are external length, width and height. For the length and the width, it represents the maximum value between the load and the pallet itself. For the height it is the sum of the pallet height and the load height.

The first step is to run Quick Pallet Maker and open a new window starting from primary package dimensions. This is done by selecting New Data Sheet - Start from primary package.

The next step is to make sure the units are in inches and pounds. If not, you can right-click the bottom corner of the window and change them.

The input window should look like the one in the image below if we select the 48x40 pallet.

We use Tools - Recalculate to calculate a list of pallets. We can select any pallet and then use the View - Show Dimensions command.

This will display the pallet length, width and height, as shown in the image below.

Selecting Window - Detailed Report will open a new report window that also includes the pallet ad box dimensions.
