Is there a better way to apply cabinet ends other than doing the component alignment and then changing all of the insets?

I load a display panel and associate it to the cabinet in the cabinet editor, I actually find it easier than sorting all the insets to get it right in custom layout,but hey its whatever you get used to.

How about this...
Take a cabinet and remove all but the right end.
Apply an "end" material" and adjust the parameters relative to the toe and others that can effect it's size, position, etc.
Adjust the width of the cabinet to just a little more than the maximum thickness of what you applied end material would be.
Add a USER NAME to the right end and call it "LEFT APPLIED END".
Save it to your library as "LEFT APPLIED END".
Do the above again, only with the left end and saving it as "RIGHT APPLIED END".
Then it is just a case of dropping it into the room layout or adding it to the Batch entry list.

Thanks, I like your approach Brad, it seems easy to follow and like Al said it's a lot of what you get used to doing.

never thought of that Brad.might give it a whirl.Seems that every time I do an applied end in CL it goes everywhere but where I want it

that works really good the only draw back is that you wind up with a huge number of cabinets and I find that it gets confusing for the guys in the back
