I have a cabinet that won't nest in ecabs properly, and I think it's an issue with the group function pertaining to the drawer fronts.
It's a frameless cabinet with panel doors and drawers that are inset (4 doors below, 2 drawers above). I want the grain to run vertical on the doors and drawer fronts, so I rotate the grain 90 degrees on the drawer fronts. The cabinet is 48" wide overall with 3/4" panel ends. The issue seems to be the rotated grain on the drawer fronts. I can put all 4 doors in a group and it nests fine, but when I add the fronts to the group, ecabs says it can't nest the doors or the fronts because of the overall width (I'm using a 1/4" cutter). So, I tried to put them into 2 seperate groups, 2 doors grouped with 1 drawer front in each group. When I do this it throws the nesting for a loop and scatters the parts all over, and even cuts 1 pair of doors with the wrong grain direction (see attached .jpeg).
I drew (built?) the cabinet from scratch in Ver. 6, but I'm not sure if this is a new issue with Ver. 6, or just an issue that's always been there but I have yet to come across. I hope I'm explaining this right lol. Many thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Nesting Issue
I just tried to group the slab drawer fronts on a cabinet, and they nested incorrectly also.
