After you put together a kitchen and then nest it all the cabinets ahve a corrisponding number to them. Now if I have nested this out and cut my wood and find problems with my design and I go back and edit a cabinet, will the cabinet that I newly edited change to cabinet #1?
eCabinets numbers cabinets by when they were placed into the room. The first cabinet in the room is #1 the second placed in the room is #2 and so on. That number doesn't change when you pull it from a room and edit it. Even if you save cabinet #1 by some other name, to eCabinets it is still Cabinet #1.
That can't be true. My number 1 cabinets is absolutely without a doubt not the first cabinet that Iput in the room My #1 cab is an upper that is against a floor to ceiling cabinet. I always start with lowers. Guess I'll have to do a test.
Well, in my test it didn't change the cabinet number. But like I said. There is no way my #1 cabinet is the first cabinet that I put in the room. Plus I have 17 cabinets and I have a #18, #19 and #25 cabinet. I guess that could come from deleting and re adding cabinets. This job was re designed many times.
Where it starts getting hard to keep up with is when you delete a cabinet, say cabinet #5 of 10. Now #6 will become #5, on up to #10 becoming #9, and any new cabinet you add will be #10. Not a problem, but if you've already cut out the rest of the stuff and now suddenly your cabinet numbers don't jive because of a change, it ain't no fun.
You and Leo were correct. eCabinets re-numbers the cabinets if you have deleted one. It doesn't do it until you have saved, closed and re-opened the job.
