why can't dovetails work right?

Post by Mark Hesketh »

ne wproblem with the dovetail drawers. ran a batch today and lost all my parts with male dovetails on both ends. it is cutting the dovetails, then runs the outline pass down one side... but then it drops the outline tool down cutting off half of the end dovetail, like a drill operation, before running the outline down the other side (and it still is not leaving a skin on these passes). so now all my drawers have one part missing since the fronts all have male dovetails on both ends. what do i have to do to re-cut these so they will work?

i am using CN 5.28

We have just released a CN update that should take care of this issue.
