After all these years using eCabinet Systems software I still don't understand some things about it
Take a tall face frame cabinet with un-equal heights on three openings.
Place doors on this cabinet
Take the cabinet to the face frame editor and select all openings and equalize them.
The doors don't re-size in height to fit the new opening sizes.
Shouldn't the doors re-size to fit the openings or shouldn't there be a warning dialog pop up?
This hasn't been a problem because I know about this and usually remove the doors and re-apply but I recently did this and there wasn't much of a change in opening sizes and now I have outsourced doors that don't fit.

Kerry...
There are a couple other little similar quirks when using face frame cabinets that I am sure you will find. I am sure they exist due to the limited number of machinists that build FF cabs vs frameless. There usually is a workaround, albeit a PITA. I think we are dinosaurs, my friend.

Count me in the FF dinosaur category too I guess. But we use a Thermwood to build the boxes so maybe I am in the Cro-Magnon arena.

Re: Rules on Door Re-sizing
I am just trying to determine if this is an eCabinets bug or if the software is supposed to do this for some reason.
If the software doesn't re-size height when opening are changed there needs to be some warning dialog.

Re: Rules on Door Re-sizing
Gentlemen,
This is not necessarily a bug, but just how it has always been. However, I do not feel that it is acceptable to be able to unknowingly get the wrong size doors in this fashion. I will get this looked at and see what can be done either short term and or long term about this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Scott,
This is also a problem with mid-stiles if you re-size an opening to width after doors are placed on the opening and it moves a mid stile the doors do not re-size properly.
