Multiple Backs.

[Leo Graywacz]

How do you make the system understand that if you have a long cabinet with partitions that you want the backs to go from partition to partition instead of one solid back. I have an upper that is 64\" tall and 91 1/2\" long. It has two vertical partitions that separate the unit into 3 distinct areas. I want the program to give me 3 backs (30.5 x 64), but it tells me when doing the nest that it cannot produce these backs because they are bigger than the sheet stock I have provided in the define materials listing.

What do I need to do. Thanks.

Leo,

Change your back to span 2 of the spaces if possible, bridging it halfway onto a partition. Next, use a stretcher as a back (set your width in the Stretcher Construction Settings) and your orientation as up/down. If your material isn't wide enough to span 2 partitions, then set it for 1 and add a 2nd stretcher.

Also in Stretcher Construction Settings, change the grain orientation using the slider at the bottom.

I'm not certain if this will actually cut correctly on a CNC, but it's a fix for your drawings and (I believe) cutlist.
