The Cabinet Won't Move

[Gary Puckett]

I took a stadard base cabinet removed the toe so I could aply four carved feet( that are user created) applied doors, drawer font and drawers. Saved the cabinet then reopened that same cabinet and I want to move it out of the way so I can use a display panel to put under the cabinet. I am going to use the panel to attach another cabinet ( a drawer bank) then repeat for the other side. So I will have a base cabinet with carved feet then a drawer bank without feet then another base cabinet with feet.

When I try to move the cabinet off of center of the screen the feet move and the drawers move and the cabinet stays where it is. Why won't the cabinet move I asm sure I have done this in the past.

Thanks
Gary

Gary, did you associate the legs to the cab?

[Gary Puckett]

Rick,

Yes I did. I then went and started a new standard base cabinet and tried to move it and it won't move.

I don't know what is going on. Are you able to move a cabinet in the cabinet editor?

I can hold down the shift key and right click and move the cabinet with the screen moving,but when I hold the ctrl key and right click the cabinet won't move.

Now I can load a foot or any display object and they will move.

Rick,

If I make the cabinet a HSF file , then load it in the cabinet editor I can move it, but thats not right. What do you think is wrong?

If you want to move an assembly using ctrl-right mouse button, you have to select every item in the assembly. This is why you sould save the cabinet with feet as a cabinet and not as an assembly. Only use assembly for multiple cabinet assemblies that you wish to install into a room as a single item.

Dan,

I did, I saved it as a cabinet and the only things that move is the feet and the drawer boxes. If I use any cabinet in the cabinet editor I can not get the cabinet to move. But I can get any display object in the cabinet editor and they move just fine.

Gary,

Are you selecting the entire cabinet by double clicking on it. It will have a green frame around the cabinet (Not a hatched pattern like when you select a single part.)

Post your cabinet

Kerry,

I am making a square around the cabinet to get the green hash marks on the whole cabinet.

Kerry,

Thanks that was the problem , if I just double click and get the green outline it moves just fine. What is the first to go memory, site, hearing I forget


Thanks again

Here's a tip for you Gary.

I hardly ever use Display Boards or Display Panels for anything since they are not re-sizable after you place them. What I normally do is to take a part of a cabinet, like a face frame stile for instance to use as a sizable board. For a re-sizable panel I will use a side or top of a cabinet. Just remove all of the parts you don't need until you are left with just what you do need. Then save these parts in a Cabinet directory with a name like "Parts". I can then open the file called "Resizable Board" and turn it into whatever I want, such as a fluted column. You can do the same thing of course with the panel parts of a cabinet. For instance, you can make a re-sizable table top from a cabinet top.

Hopefully in a future version of the software we can have re-sizable Display Boards and Panels.
