BOARD STOCK AND SHEET STOCK IN SAME UNIT

[Al dedenus]

I've got a cabinet to build with veneer carcass (sheet stock) and solid timber shelves and base and top (board stock) When I go to construction settings I can't access board stock to change the shelves and the base and top from sheet stock.It just lists all my sheet stock.Can someone tell me how to change this so my cut list is right??

Al,

The only way I know of is to create a sheet stock to represent glued up panels of solid lumber. I name mine things like 4/4 Oak Lumber and size it accordingly so I know that this is not a sheet stock.

You could use Display boards but you would have to enter joinery manually.

Hi Al,
Could you not create another sheet stock the same size and colour as you are wanting for your shelves and name them say dark oak board do not cut?

[Al dedenus]

Hi Paul>thought of that too.Wouldn't it be easier if the programmers made it so you could use anything in stock materials be it board or sheet ?? CUMMON PROGRAMMERS HOW HARD CAN IT BE !

hmmm good point. It cant be that hard to write 5000 (Complete guess!!) pages of program, surely!
