When working with a large project like a kitchen or batch of cabinets, it would be nice to be able to set a default door and it's options and a default drawer face with its options and dbx with its options and these would apply to an entire project.
This way when you go into the cab editor and then door/drawer editor, all the options for the dbx's, doors and drawer faces would be setup and you wouldn't have to go thru this process with each cabinet.
With a large number of cabinets, this can be VERY time consuming (as I'm experiencing with a job right now).
Just my humble opinion.....
Would be a nice option

Re: Would be a nice option
It took me a few jobs to get this protocol into my habit, but if you set these options up BEFORE you make your cabinets or layouts, in the appropriate editors, then they apply to the doors/fronts/dboxs that you put on your cabinets. it is important to do this before you put fronts on otherwise you are editing the options each time.

Re: Would be a nice option
Gentlemen,
Do not forget about the fairly new Global Item Modification feature. This is a very powerful tool that allows multiple changes to a single cabinet, or an entire assembly, or an entire library of cabinets, or an entire library of assemblies, or an entire custom layout of cabinets & assemblies, or an entire batch of cabinets & assemblies. This feature can change sheet stock, board stock, banding stock, doors and drawer fronts (including grain direction for slab doors/drawer fronts), drawer boxes, defaults for doors, drawer fronts, & drawer boxes, hardware and hole patterns (including slide, hinge, pull, KD/RTA...). It can also change drawer box insets, slide placements, can add/remove grain groupings, plus much more. And in almost all cases, you can change all this in one shot. So, please check this out if you have not done so already. Hope this helps.

Re: Would be a nice option
The Global Item Modification feature is really great. The more I use it the more I like it. However it would be nice if we could adjust the insets and/or the overlays for the doors and drawer fronts also.
Yes! Oh Yes! I Think We Are Going to make It!
