Measuring molding in LDE

Post by Jason Gooch »

Hey folks - not sure if this is a reality in Ecabs, or if it's just me - I've added a molding to some cabinets in custom layout, then take the whole thing to LDE. I cannot get a dimension off of the molding - no nodes appear when I press "M". Any ideas?

Thanks - Jason

Jason,

Make sure you have the PRT button clicked in the LDE.

Jason,

Are the ones you are working with display moldings added at the room level? It appears that the issue is only with display moldings added at the custom layout level. If you add molding to the cabinet via the molding editor or even add it to a cabinet as a display molding (remember to have it associated to the cabinet before you return it to the room or save the cab), it will have the markers/nodes available. I will get it on the list to be fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Regards,

Sorry Jason,

You are correct. I was measuring moldings added in the Cabinet Editor. Those added in Custom Layout do not display nodes.

Kerry - doesn't matter which you select, the nodes still don't show up - thanks for the suggestion though.

Scott - you are correct - I added a molding to a cabinet in CE, it dimensions fine in LDE. Definitely would be better to be able to dimension it when added to custom layout - I rarely add moldings to individual cabinets.

Thanks for your help - Jason
