Angled Corner

Post by leigh mills »

Can anyone tell me how to put an angle on a corner, as i have an angled part and i need this to butt against the straight part. this is for a part that goes from the top of the cabinet to the bottm and needs to butt with the back. if someone could help it would be much appreciated

Thanks Leigh

Look in eCabinet Systems Help Manual (on the Help menu) for Develop a Clip Corner Cabinet. It is in Cabinet/Assembly Editor -> Working With Cabinets.

Sorry Leigh, I misunderstood your question. :oops:

Take the part into the Part Editor and profile the edge with a chamfering tool. You will have to create the tool using the Shape Manager but it is pretty simple.

I used the method described above to do that. Here are 4 different chamfer tools. Each will cut a different side on the part so you can experiment with them to see how they work.

They are all 3/4" so if you need something larger, just use them as a guide and create what you need in the Shape Manager.
