Wouldn't be nice if we could associate hardware hole patterns to user defined hardware such as leg levelers.

Wouldn't be nice if we could snap to the center of a cabinet in the LDE.

Wouldn't be nice if we could mirror a cabinet without having to design it twice.

We aren't ignoring the forum, usually I keep up on posts but its been a bit hectic here. I'm putting in requests for wishlist items for everything that can be.

Added to the wishlist.

Can you elaborate a little more on this one?

I'll add it to the wishlist. You may be able to use Cabinet Merge Utility to achieve this now.

I'll add it to the wishlist, but this is nearly a whole rewrite of the software. Databases are open and in use while the software is open. If you have multiple instances of the software they have to be all looking at the databases constantly. Its like saying I want to drive my car to go to the store and let my wife drive my car at the same time to go somewhere else.

Since we're adding to the wish list, my customers have been asking me for a way to get a count of flip ops from eCabinets. Perhaps on the Nest Diagrams screen under Number of Sheets. Or on the cutlist under Sheet Stock Summary. If you charge your customers for flips, they would have any easy way to get a count and cost for the job.

Wouldn't be nice if the cabinet list report had a column for the cabinet type. This would make it easer to export existing jobs from custom layout to a batch job using an excel spreadsheet.

Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to live with constant fear of a software crash when we enter or exit the Line Drawing Editor, or while changing fonts in the Line Drawing Editor, or printing from the Line Drawing Editor.

Indeed it would. Make a left handed cabinet, press a button and a right handed cabinet appears.

An f(x) function for the depth of a drawer. Most of us probably use drawer slides that need a specific depth drawer box (ie: Blum Tandem undermounts) and when making not standard depths of cabinet or changing a cabinet depth the drawer depth changes also. It would be nice if it remained constant when the depth of a cabinet changes. You can fit a 21" Tandem in a cabinet with a depth of 21 7/8" (internal) or larger.

Leo,
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but in my library cabinets I set a minimum Increment for depth for the depth drawer I want in Construction Settings/Add Door/Drawer Settings and add drawer box settings. Now if I increase the depth of the cabinet the drawer stays the same.

Took me a while to find that page. Mine looks nothing like yours does. I'll give it a shot and see how it works out. :beer:
