Cabinet Handles and Machining Patterns

Post by Michael Moulton »

I'm a new user to ECabinet, so my learning curve is steep right now.

One thing I'm looking for help on is associating a drilling pattern with a Cabinet Pull. I envision it working like door hinges, or drawer guides.

Is there a way to do this? I've searched back through the blog, and it looks like the feature has been discussed but it has to be done manually and have contraints added for each door or drawer front I do.

Thanks in Advance

Michael,
You would need to use part editor geometry and constrain each one. If you start from a seed cabinet and add the holes for a door pull, that will stay constrained, but the problem is if you decide you need to change the door at some point, then the part editor work you did will be lost.
Hope this helps,
