I hope i can explain this clearly enough
Part Editor cuts are the right and left sides and the top rail. however in the first 2 files the top and back were PE cuts unitl as you'll read bellow it works better if there insets are changed instead.
the shelf is fixed and the mid back panel i created is a stretcher.
steps to build.
1.load std base framless
2.add face frames
3. gobal settings -stock defined - full dado
4. change cab height, length
5. chenge construction settings. toe kick - face frame , R&L side insets on bottom.
6. Then on the first files, i modfied the back as shown, in part editor. Then i did some work on the face frames. Which then led to an error in creating route bodies, which i said yes to remove PE cuts. Then i recut them. On the last file #4, i relized that the problem was with the back. so rather then PE cut it, i changed the inset. which worked and i could change the cab without issue now.
i had no problem working on them until i got to the 3rd cabinet design. After it was done i saved it than later came back and found i could not open it. the program would just shut down. At this time i am unable to load any files of this cabinet. UNLESS i first go into the DR and bring the file that is displayed there back to CE. than it loads the old files with the new one. thanks again ted.
