I dont know if something changed in V6b2 but I now get the following message after making a change in Const. Sett. Cant seem to tell if the timing is different, or Win 7 percieves eCabs as stopped. Sometimes I think it is. IF ignored eCabs goes on as usual. Message dissappears

eCabs Screen Saver ...

I had a little more time to spend on this. More info:

It seems this is a product of placing PE cuts near or on Dados. If butt joinery is global selected this issue dissappears.
When it does happen, it only appears to happen to the upper constraints in CM view. Lower ones work fine.

When closing ...

Let me add that:
When window with green draw box was moved to main screen, drawer rendering dissappeared

clecked on it a few times and shook it with the mouse and draw box reappeared, saved file
when DBE "CLOSE" button is selected, it closed eCabs

As reported in V6b1 there are issues with using constraints to PE cuts in the Draw box designer. Steps to repeat:
CE main
Select Draw box designer
open standard draw box
Const Sett>>global change material to 16mm Horizon
Change method to full dado, depth.3
select OK allow to refresh
Const sett ...

In V5.2, virtually all of my base cabs has this "web Top" some have had the blind dado joinery for the partition. None have had the PE cuts to the partition shown in another post. None have shown this error. It may be a product of changing the Dado front stops last or the combination of PE ...

Another note.....
The Nest shows this as a pocket with a depth of .5"

Open the attached cabinet derived from V6 std base framed. The top dado settings are set to 1 1/2" on the R & L fronts, but they show as 1". If set at 2" all seems fine. When the top is taken into the PE for a closer look it returns a "funky" little geometric quirk between 1" and 1 1/2" on the tenon ...

Virtually all my setting etc were carried forward, but like you I lost the hardware. Unlike you, I had only a small number inV6 b1 and will go forward. Hopefully will be fixed before next version. I was luck to get the last of my V5.2 cabinets cut yesterday. Forward with V6!

Part Editor cuts are returned erroneous when crossing tenon dados. Steps to repeat:
From CE, open std base framed
Const set. >>GLobal set joinery to blind dado
>> Uncheck Face frames
CE main
Part/shelf editor>> remove adj shelf
> add fixed shelf rear setback 16, set opening hgt to 5
> add ...

I have noticed that when in the Draw Box Designer, the 1st mouse click selects nothing, second also nothing, third works. It takes a half second delay between clicks or double click is interpreted. Double click works very well on 1st try. This, at least on this computer, is very exaggerated by ...

I experienced the same

We do this fairly often when using materials with a different finish on each side. Some parts need to be cut with Outside finish up and some with outside finish down. (before flipOps) Sides can be cut OS fin down while tops and deck usually need to be cut with the OS fin up. It just takes ...

IF I take Joe's suggestion as I think he wrote it, and selected outsource for the draw boxes, wouldnt the draw box sizes show up just fine in the Buy List? I interpreted his suggestion as looking for an option to eliminate the rendering and machining calculations that go along with ...

Joe...
Agree on both.. 8)

I do exactly what you said. Make a draw box of Solid Maple NOCUT. The first even had the dovetails included, but Kerry set me straight on that. I do use it as a "build in house" with proper dado depths to return accurate front, back, sides and bottom sizes to the cutlist ...
