Jason,

You can only group door/drawers on a single cabinet. However, depending on your circumstances you might be able to group each cabinet and then filter only these items and nest them together on one sheet and get close or just right. If you post the assembly or job, we can take a look and give further suggestions or tips.

Scot,

Can you give us a quick overview of how to group doors/drawer fronts on a single cabinet?

Thank you,

Michael

Thank you,

Michael
1.) Load or create a cabinet that has slab doors and or drawer fronts (grain must match each other).
2.) Right-Click and select Group Parts (should see the Door/Drawer Front Group(s) dialog in upper left corner appear)
3.) Click on the doors and or drawer fronts you wish to be grouped (you will see them populate the list)
4.) Select done when finished.
5.) Save the cabinet.

Then you can write CNC or nest it and they will be kept together but spaced for the outline tool.
