Hi All

I have created a TWD file on shape manager then taken to profile modeler and run a sample - works fine but when trying to fine tune it I cannot figure out how to create more than one region the profile is 750mm wide but only the outer 30mm needs work - can anyone point me in the right direction

Ian,

When you put a profile on a panel in Ecabinets it creates one region for that profile. If you are using just one tool in Ecabinets to create a specific profile, you will only have 1 region. If you use 2 tools in Ecabinets to make a specific profile, you will have 2 regions. There is no way to break a region created with a single tool into smaller regions for machining purposes. I hope this helps.

Neither am I but I saw the results and couldn't believe it...15-6 South Africa over England.

Wasn't it the English that invented rugby in the first place? I guess that's the reason that American football doesn't have a \"world cup\" and baseball's world series isn't really the entire world, just North America...we just don't want to be embarassed at our own games. :wink:
