Cam-lock problem

[Forrest Chapman]

Ecab Guys,

This is a known problem that is starting to really affect me on new designs. When cams are placed in the front or back edge of a stretcher they stick out of the part so much that the holes are not drilled. This was introduced with the last build from what I can tell. Do you have any idea when this will be fixed?

Thanks,
Forrest

Hi Forrest,

I am assuming that "Cam-Lock" is the KD Fastener? Can you please email me your cabinet files along with your hardware hole pattern for this "Cam-Lock"?

thanks,

Jason,

Here is the hsf file. Notice the top edge of the stretcher is not bored. If you show hardware holes you can see the cams in blue extended out from the back of the part.

Thanks,
Forrest

Another Problem that I am having is the hole pattern doesn't show up on the left side-Back of a corner cabinet. It will show up on the right but not on the left.

Hi Damon,

I will have the programmers look at this as well.

thanks,

Forrest,
I see what you mean. I have fixed the problem using a back panel instead of using the stretcher. I will make the programmers aware of this issue. I have attached a file with the changes. The only other problem I am running into with using the back panel is that I can't go below 5" on the width of the part.

Damon,
I will look into your issue as well.

Todd,

I have the same problem with one of my cabinets, accept mine is the deck. I can change the width slightly but when you go to much it will mean it will have to overlap, which wont happen. The only way that you could possible fix this is to have the abbility to lock a back or deck at a certain position, for example an offset which has the ability to hold from an edge, in my case it would be 100mm from the edge.

The problem is you have to set the offset from the other side. It would be good if we had the ability to lock a back or deck.

Another Problem that I am having is the hole pattern doesn't show up on the left side-Back of a corner cabinet. It will show up on the right but not on the left.

Damon,
Go into construction settings, on the back tab, make the left side overlap "side flush". This should show you the RTA fasteners. I have attached a revision and I will let our programmers know about this.

Forrest,
Your issue is fixed for the next build.

Damon,
Your issue is not fixed yet, but has been listed.

Thanks Todd, and Jason,

Just got in from IWF show. I was aware of the change allowing the KD to show but I needed it the other way to make the project work. Thanks for your help.
