Cut out bug

Post by Nick M Singer »

Here is an interesting one for the people at Thermwood. I created a pretty standard base unit and made a small cut out at the top corner of both left and right hand sides 25mm x 35mm. I saved the unit and then started creating a batch job and found that if I resized the depth of the unit (made shallower) the right hand cut out was going into reverse as you can see in the picture whilst the left hand cut out remained the same and correct.

Nick,

This cabinet will need some constraints added to the right ends notch if you want it to remain. The bubble out of the notch when no constraints exist should not be happening and will be resolved in the next release.

In next release, the notch on the right end will just disappear when re-sized beyond the notch depth (not bubble out like the current release). This is expected behavior if no constraints are added. There are implicit constraints that the DCM engine must apply that dictate this behavior. If you were to add a notch in all 4 corners of the std upper frameless for both the Left & Right ends and then size the depth up and then down slightly, you will see how it works when no constraints are added. The left and right ends behave opposite each other because they have opposite CNC front sides (good side of material is the inside of the cab), so they mirror each other. This scenario will just simply require constraints to be added.
Regards,

Yes but why does it not happen to the left side, and would it not be easier if you had the ability to resize from front or back as you do when you use the Adjust cabinet features, Resize/Equalise command or resize from the centre so it does not effect anything on the back or front edges?
