It is not just Job size. I am working on a batch that is just 61mb this morning. dimensioned 27 cabinets in the Line drawing editor, exited the LDE to check something in batch and when I tried to go back to the LDE eCabs crashed. Luckily, I had saved while in the LDE.

Jay, I have never been able to make the auto-dimension feature work either. It is easier to place the dimensions I need rather than editing and making the auto dimensions readable. I have also tried printing to .pdf and opening in BlueBeam and exporting to .dxf and opening in AutoCad. Neither works ...

Jay, Clint is probably correct about it being a problem with job size, but it doesn't hurt to make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers. I have intermittent crashes in the Line Drawing Editor that happen in jobs of all sizes. At times I have crashes when trying to change fonts. I open Font...

Jay,
What is your graphics card?

That fixed the problem.

Thanks

2 votes for that.

Duplicate left or right has never worked the way I think it should.

I want to select a cabinet then duplicate left or right and get one duplicate, not a full wall.

Chris, It will be easier for me to show you one of my library cabinets. These cabinets resize great in width and depth. If you re-size height you need to change some settings in the stretcher editor after the re-size. The addition of formulas to the stretcher editor would fix this. The other problem...

Don, Remember eCabinets creates scribe by shrinking the box behind the face frame. If you add 1 1/2" scribe to your cabinet, you will need to add 1 1/2" Front Width to your cabinet to keep the face frame opening size the same. Note: This will change the width of the left and right backs on...

Mark, Our cabinet libraries have generic door and drawer fronts, drawer boxes and hardware. I load those into the design and when the design is complete and ready to nest, I change to the correct doors, drawer fronts, drawer boxes and hardware. using Global Item Modification. This is the only way I ...

Thanks Clint

Leo, This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but in my library cabinets I set a minimum Increment for depth for the depth drawer I want in Construction Settings/Add Door/Drawer Settings and add drawer box settings. Now if I increase the depth of the cabinet the drawer stays the same. drawer.jpg

Gene,
I created a KD hole pattern with no depth and called it NO RTA. I apply this as the KD fastener to parts I don't want a hole drilled.

For the pattern I just used the 1/8" through drill pattern like you are using and gave it no depth.

If I run a cut list with the board stock yield settings at 100% or 50% I get the same board foot summary count.
Sheet stock items adjust for yield but not board stock.

Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to live with constant fear of a software crash when we enter or exit the Line Drawing Editor, or while changing fonts in the Line Drawing Editor, or printing from the Line Drawing Editor.
