Hole Patterns not deep enough when changing material thickne

Post by Scott Marshburn »

Yesterday we were doing a test for some hardware hole patterns that we needed. The cabinet was created with 3/4 in. material the material was actually 23/32 thick. So when asked if I wanted to change material thickness I clicked yes and changed it from 3/4 to 23/32.The holes were set to 1/32 deep (just for testing).When it drilled the holes it did not touch the material. I went back into eCabinets and edited the same material and changed it to 3/4 thick. This time it went the proper depth into the material. Don't know if this is a Thm control thing or a eCabinets?

Josh Here Is the Cabinet that I ran Although the material at it's Currents State is eCabinets Generic Material If you change the thickness of the 3/4 thick material to 23/32 when asked if you would would like to change the material thickness then maybe you will get the same results as we did. One note I ran this test from the cabinet editor directly by selecting Cnc from the bottom of the cabinet editor screen Just beside the screen shade slide bare. "Just back tracing my steps."
