Is there any way to change the depth of a drawer box once it is installed in a cabinet? I've got a cabinet with 9 drawer boxes with many part editor modifications to them. I've tried the Construction parameters dialog box in Door/Drawer editor and that doesn't work.
I don't want to have to delete all the drawers, add them and have to go thru the painfully slow process of adding all the PE and CM modifications to them.

Re: Changing drawer box depth
What are you trying to change the back inset of drawer box with front? If you are, make sure you have the 9 drawer fronts selected, go to Construction Settings, change the drawer box back inset making sure the Add drawer box with front is checked. This should change the drawer box with front back inset.

Re: Changing drawer box depth
I am trying to change a 20" (front to back length) dbx to 16" front to back length. Other two dimensions don't need to change.
Which editor should I be in - CE or door/drawer editor?

Re: Changing drawer box depth
Are you using the min depth inc setting to get the length you want?

Re: Changing drawer box depth
You should be the door/drawer editor when making changes. Be sure to highlight the drawer you want to change, then go to construction settings.

Re: Changing drawer box depth
I normally set my Back Inset to 1" and then set the front to back depth for the drawer box (16", 18", 20", etc.) for the length of drawer slides I use. Blum concealed, soft-close slides. Depth of drawer is critical or the slides won't work.

Re: Changing drawer box depth
Will the process you outline also work where I am putting slide out trays (Dbx's without drawer fronts) in the Drawer Box Editor? This is where I have many PE modifications to the slide out trays.

Re: Changing drawer box depth
It will work in drawer box editor, however there is a bug in build 17 that will not regenerate the cabinet after leaving the drawer box editor. So you have to make to regen the cabinet (hit enter one of the edit boxes) one more time before saving the cabinet to see the changes made. This bug is fixed in the beta.
