Good Saturday morning! I'm working on a bath assembly vanity for a client and I have questions regarding imported images. In a nutshell, I went to the Kohler site found the sink I needed, imported the sink into Autocad and converted the file to an stl. I took the stl file and imported it into the DPE in eCabinets where I gave it the texture I needed and saved it as an hsf file in my sample_hsf directory. I then saved the jpeg image from the Kohler site into the same directory. When I load the image, it loads as I want it to look like and it is sized correctly. I can even place it where I want it on my assembly.
However, when I take the assembley to the LDE, I can only dimension the cabinets. I can't dimension the sink since there are no nodes (pun) for me to click on. What did I do wrong? Thanks for your assistance.

Don't know what happened here. I'm working on a bath vanity assembly and couldn't click on any nodes to dimension the sink, then all of a sudden it started working. Dunno what caused it to start working.
Another question? Is there a good tutorial on putting an edge profile on a part in the part editor? This is kind of confusing.

Here is an excerpt from the Help Manual You can also search \"profile\" in the help manual or e_cabinets made easy from the help tab at the top of the system.
Profile Along a Contour Path on a Cabinet Part
Start in the Cabinet/Assembly Editor main workspace with a cabinet loaded
Note, you must have created and saved a profile tool before you can perform this function. This also works with a Display Panel or Display Cube. Note, changes made in the Cabinet Editor are lost when the cabinet is regenerated (when re-sized, for example) so should be the last thing done on a design.
- Press Esc to remove all highlights
- Left Click on the part to highlight it
- Press - OR – Right Click and select Areas – Part Editor
- From the edge labels (Front, Left, Right, etc.) determine that the profile is being generated on the correct surface
o If not, go to and select the other view
- In the Contour Mode create the path for the profile and exit the Contour Mode
- Press from the toolbar
- Make a selection
o Single – profile a single edge
o Partial – profile two or more connecting edges but not the entire perimeter
o Chain – profile the entire perimeter of the part
- Select the entity to start cutting (note, for CNC, select near the corner where you want machining to begin)
- For Partial select the last entity to be profiled
- Press
- Select the profile tool and press ( the area under the horizontal line represents the part to be cut)
- Enter the diameter of the tool (this is the shank diameter between the profile cutting edges of the tool)
- Select the type of tool radius compensation to use
o No Comp / Center-line – the center-line of the tool moves along the contour
o Comp Left – the tool shifts to the left by the radius of the tool as viewed behind the tool moving away from you
o Comp Right – the tool shifts to the right toward the part by the radius of the tool as viewed behind the tool moving away from you
- Input any additional left or right offsets and press
- Input the plunge depth and press (note, zero is the top of the part, negative distances plunge into the part, positive distances raise above the part)
- Press (the part can be rotated and viewed by pressing , press to restore normal view)
- Press to take the part back to the cabinet
- Press to keep the changes
Hope this helps
