Secret to succcessful hardware holes?

[Gene Davis]

I am brand new with the software, and having a difficult time getting hardware holes figured out.

I have created hole patterns for hinges and slides, and try as I might, cannot get the holes to show up in either doors or carcase sides.

What's the secret?

Slide mount hole patterns were created with the holes having negative depth (12mm). Slides are specified as Blum Solo, and associated with the drawers. I call out the hole centering as 7/8\" up from drawerbox bottom.

Hinge holes come into the parts with some sequence of clicks and settings, but then I cannot remember the sequence that was successful, and cannot duplicate it.

Gene,
In the Cabinet Editor right click, mouse over Visibility and make sure you have \"Show Hardware Patterns\" checked.

I have tried and tried, and have toggled that \"view hole patterns\" switch, but nothing works.

With the help from a member, via private email, I have the solution!

It's the matter of setting the hardware as the default.

Got everything working for drawerslides, but hinge preps are a new problem!

Door default is chosen from a Conestoga pattern, I associated a hardware prep (door holes and cab holes both in prep) with both hinge and hinge plate, set hinge and plate as default, installed doors, and there are no preps in doors. See attached.

Also, the cab holes for the hinge plates show in blue. What is that about?

And it seems that DOOR hinge preps (35mm cup hole and 8mm dowel holes) will model and show for a SLAB door, but not for a Conestoga door.

What's up?
