Moving cabinets in the LDE

Post by Leo Graywacz »

Is it possible? I thought I saw someone mention this and I see it listed in the help in the software. I can't get it to work.

It says select the cabinet and then hold the SHIFT and right mouse button to move the cabinet. I am doing it in the 2D editor in the top view.

Am I doing something wrong or does it just not do this?

Thanks. :beer:

Make sure you select Cab on the second row of the toolbar. Then when you select the cabinet it will turn green. Now you can hold the shift key and drag with the right mouse button.

Not working.

Here is what I am doing.

Open job
click on LDE button and job get imported into the LDE
click on the cabinet button
select cabinet and it turns green
hold shift key (left one) and right mouse button and when I drag it takes the whole room with it, the cabinet stays in relative position within the room

Are there any settings that need to be done like take off align with back?

I didn't know you where coming from custom layout. Yes, it looks like you cannot rotate one cabinet this way.

Where do you have to come from to be able to move cabinets in the LDE??

Leo,
You will need to bring a single cabinet into the LDE from the Cabinet Editor to be able to rotate it etc.
Cabinets in a room from Custom Layout cannot be manipulated by themselves in the LDE

Oh, I knew that part. I take them apart in there to get down to the FF so I can print that out.

Oh, well.....I guess that's another thing on the wish list :mrgreen:

Leo,

Not entirely true guys. You can select the cabinet you want and do a copy/paste of it right in the LDE, then you can rotate, hide parts, scale, etc. to that copy all you want. Hope this helps.
