Better way to build cabinet?

I'm redoing my closet library, and will be basing it on the cabinet attached below. The last time around I used color coded edgeband to distinguish certain parts (finished vs unfinished ends, fixed vs. adjustable shelves etc.) but am going to do without edgeband on these. The edgebanding seems to sl...

Re: Top not Cutlisting Correctly/ RTA Fitting

Thanks Chris. I'll play around with the notch and holes and see if that's tied into the error. In the meantime, I removed the banding from the front edge of the top, and set the top back, from the front of the cabinet, the thickness of the banding. This works, but isn't ideal. In the meantime, if ot...

Updating Hole Pattern

I've adjusted the hole pattern associated with the RTA fitting I'm using. What's the easiest way to apply this change to the cabinets in my library?

Top not Cutlisting Correctly/ RTA Fitting

When I add RTA fittings to the top of my cabinet 2 things are happening. The top disappears from the cutlist, and when nested, the thickness of the edgebanding is no longer subtracted from the part. I've tried deleting the part, and recreating it, but keep getting the same results. GCMF - 11 - 2 - 1...

Anyone know what might be causing this?

Re: Unable to Delete Shape in Part Editor

John, I just tried that and it works great. Not clear on why I didn't try to use it before. Thanks.

Re: Unable to Create Pocket in Part Editor

Thanks Jerry, that's what I ended up doing. I need to create this hole and notch pattern on quite a few cabinet sides, so I was hoping to do it as a DXF, that I could bring into PE each time. I was able to do it with the holes, but not the notch. It does turn out to be pretty easy just to create the...

Re: Selecting Multiple Objects in PE

Thanks guys. It does look like I'll need to select them one at a time. The patterns are generally 2 rows of shelf holes, top to bottom. The hitch is that each opening has several adjustable shelves. From what I could tell, the only way to do this, within the program, was to position each shelf at ju...

Re: Edgeband not Subtracted from Part Size

Corrected the length of the fixed shelf - values for left and right inset weren't set at 0. (Sorry on that, I'm new to the program.

The top still isn't showing up on the cut list...

Re: Edgeband not Subtracted from Part Size

Or the cutlist, which doesn't seem to include the top, and is showing, what I'm guessing is the middle (fixed) shelf as 568.82mm H instead of 572mm.

I've read of the issue of the RTA fittings (some show up as red, some blue). I'm guessing its may be causing the other issues?

Re: Edgeband not Subtracted from Part Size

This is what I end up when I nest that cabinet. The top and deck should be the same, both are edgebanded on the front edge only (.5mm EB).

Edgeband not Subtracted from Part Size

On the cabinet in the file below, when I add an RTA fitting to the top, and nest, it doesn't seem to be subtracting for the EB on the front edge of the top. When I first added the part, and added edgebanding, before selecting the RTA construction, the part size was coming out ok. It was only after a...
